By bicycle from Langenhagen to Laatzen

This cycling route takes you from the suburban town of Langenhagen, just north of Hanover, to the lively area of Laatzen, which sits south of the city. Langenhagen is known for its shopping centers and proximity to Hanover Airport—so you might spot a few planes overhead as you roll out. The route covers just under 20 km and is mostly flat, with a gentle ascent that won’t trouble your legs.

You’ll spend most of the journey on smooth paved paths and quiet roads, making this a pretty stress-free ride. Expect a mix: some lovely stretches on dedicated cycle paths, some winding through neighborhoods with classic paving stones, and the occasional quiet road. Only a tiny section brings you onto a busy road, so you can relax and enjoy the scenery.

As you reach Laatzen, you’re entering an area famous for its Expo 2000 legacy and the popular aqua park. Whether you're cycling for leisure or commuting, this is a pleasant, relatively easy ride through a mix of Hanover’s suburban charm and green city outskirts.
