Quick ride by bicycle from Steinhagen to Bielefeld

This relaxed cycling route takes you from the charming town of Steinhagen, nestled on the edge of the Teutoburg Forest, straight into the vibrant city life of Bielefeld. Covering about 15.4 km, it’s a smooth ride thanks to mostly paved surfaces—think plenty of asphalt and only a handful of cobbles or gravel to keep things interesting.

You’ll cruise along quiet roads and scenic paths, making for a peaceful experience with barely any busy traffic. The route gradually ascends a total of 85 meters, so there are a few gentle hills, but nothing too taxing—just enough to stretch your legs.

Steinhagen is famous locally for its traditional schnapps, so maybe plan a stop next time. When you roll into Bielefeld, you’ll find lively cafes, striking architecture, and intriguing history (if you believe Bielefeld exists, of course!). All in all, it’s a fun, laid-back ride perfect for a weekend afternoon.
