Quick ride by bicycle from Mannheim to Ludwigshafen am Rhein

Hop on your bike for a short but sweet ride from Mannheim to Ludwigshafen am Rhein! This relaxed 4.3 km route takes you from the lively squares of Mannheim—famous for its grid-like city layout and beautiful Baroque palace—across the Rhine River into Ludwigshafen, a city known for its industrial charm and as the headquarters of chemical giant BASF.

You'll spend most of your journey on quiet roads and smooth paved stretches, with just a gentle climb and descent (nothing your legs can’t handle). Expect a mix of asphalt, a few sections of classic paving stones, and some concrete paths that keep the ride interesting.

This ride is perfect for commuters, casual riders, or anyone curious to experience two different personalities on either side of the river. Don’t forget to check out the bustling squares of Mannheim before you start, and maybe grab a coffee in Ludwigshafen when you finish!
