Quick ride by bicycle from Stuttgart to Ostfildern

Set off from Stuttgart, the vibrant capital of Baden-Württemberg, and wind your way south-east toward Ostfildern on a relaxed 13.5 km ride. This is a route for those who like a bit of variety without the traffic stress—nearly half the route keeps you on quiet roads, and you’ll enjoy plenty of smooth paved and asphalt surfaces. There’s a fair bit of climbing (about 270 meters up), so get ready for some steady pedaling as you leave Stuttgart’s basin and rise to scenic views.

Once you reach Ostfildern, you’ll find a quieter, leafy satellite town, known for its modern urban planning and green spaces—perfect for a post-ride coffee or a stroll. Along the way, enjoy stretches of peaceful paths, occasional cobblestones, and virtually no busy roads to worry about. It’s a great ride for anyone looking to escape the city buzz for suburban calm without venturing too far from Stuttgart’s bustling center.
