By bicycle from Osnabrück to Lotte

Ready for a leisurely ride? This route takes you from the lively city of Osnabrück to the quieter village of Lotte—a great way to experience Germany’s scenic border between Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. Starting in Osnabrück, known for its charming Old Town and Peace of Westphalia history, you’ll roll out through a tasty mix of asphalt and classic paving stones.

The journey covers just over 14 kilometers, mostly on quiet roads and peaceful paths with a pinch of gentle hills (about 69 meters up and 76 meters down, nothing too crazy). About three-quarters of the way is paved, perfect for all types of bikes, though keep an eye out for some gravelly and earthy stretches along the way.

As you approach Lotte, the surroundings get greener and more rural. Lotte itself is a relaxed village vibe—a perfect spot to unwind after your ride. All in all, this is a lovely route if you’re after a dose of small-town charm and countryside tranquility with just enough urban flavor at the start!
