Cycling day trip from Magdeburg to Oschersleben

Set off from Magdeburg—famous for its stunning Gothic cathedral and vibrant riverside scene—and cruise southwest toward Oschersleben. This ride covers about 57 km, so it’s a good half-day adventure, with gentle climbs (nothing too scary!) as you leave the city behind and wind into quieter countryside.

Most of your route is on paved surfaces, with a mix of smooth asphalt, old paving stones, and concrete. Paths and tracks take up a big chunk of the ride, so be ready for some variety—perfect if you enjoy a little change of scenery under your tires. Quiet roads link up some local villages and open fields, offering plenty of opportunities for a breather or snack break.

You’ll finish in Oschersleben, best known today for its speedway, the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben. If you’re into racing, it’s worth a look! All in all, this route is scenic and mostly peaceful, great for cyclists who want to escape the city buzz and discover some lesser-known corners of Saxony-Anhalt. Just be ready for a few stretches with missing surface info—embrace the adventure!
