Cycling day trip from Schweinfurt to Bamberg

Set off from Schweinfurt, a lively city on the Main river known for its industrial heritage, and cruise southeast towards picturesque Bamberg—a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its medieval old town and nine hills. This ride stretches about 63 km, making it a perfect half-day adventure for those who like to take things at a chill pace.

Your route is mostly smooth sailing, with over 90% paved surfaces and gentle rolling hills—enough ascent to keep things interesting but never too steep. You'll pedal alongside fields, through quiet villages, and spend plenty of time on paths and serene backroads, with just a short sprinkle of gravel to add a bit of variety.

Arriving in Bamberg, reward yourself with a stroll through cobblestone streets, and don’t miss tasting the city’s unique Rauchbier (smoked beer). Whether you’re into scenic countryside, charming towns, or delicious post-ride treats, this ride delivers at every turn.
