Quick ride by bicycle from Sindelfingen to Leinfelden-Echterdingen

This ride takes you from Sindelfingen to Leinfelden-Echterdingen, winding about 14 km through the scenic outskirts of Stuttgart. Starting in Sindelfingen—a town known for its automotive heritage (it’s home to a massive Mercedes-Benz plant)—you’ll cruise mostly on smooth paved paths and quiet roads, so you can pedal at your own pace without much traffic.

The route brings some rolling hills, with about 150 meters of ascent, but don’t worry: you'll lose even more elevation as you go, letting gravity help on your way into Leinfelden-Echterdingen. On the way, you’ll pass a mix of urban green spaces and fields, especially near the Schönbuch forest edge. Surfaces are mostly asphalt, so nothing too technical to handle; just keep an eye out for a few short stretches of paving stones or unmarked paths.

You’ll finish up in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, a pleasant suburb known for its proximity to Stuttgart Airport, cozy Swabian cafés, and a lively weekly market. It’s a great spot to grab a snack and reflect on an easygoing ride through southwest Germany!
