Cycling day trip from Magdeburg to Wittenburg

Kick off your cycling adventure in the historic city of Magdeburg, renowned for its majestic cathedral and the quirky Hundertwasser building, then set your sights on charming Wittenburg, a quaint town that offers a peek into the picturesque German countryside.

This roughly 108-kilometer journey is a delightful mix of cityscapes fading into serene rural vistas. Most of your ride is a smooth mix of asphalt (about 66%) with a little bit of everything sprinkled in—some paving stones and concrete, plus a dab of gravel to keep things interesting. You’ll conquer a couple of gentle climbs with a max elevation of just under 111 meters—pretty chill for stretching those cyclist legs!

The route primarily follows paths and tracks, allowing you plenty of time to enjoy nature without the hum of busy roads. With ample cycleways and quiet roads making up a significant portion of the journey, it’s perfect for soaking up the scenery. Expect to pass through charming German villages where you can park your bike and grab a quick snack at a local café before heading back on your way.

By the time you roll into Wittenburg, you’ll have experienced a little slice of Germany’s heartland without breaking too much of a sweat. Enjoy the ride!
