Quick ride by bicycle from Lampertheim to Mannheim

This bike route takes you from the charming town of Lampertheim—known for its scenic fields along the Rhine—down to the lively cityscape of Mannheim. Covering just under 18 km, the ride is pretty gentle, with very little climbing, so it’s perfect for a relaxed outing.

You’ll find yourself mostly on paved and asphalt surfaces, rolling through peaceful paths (over half the distance), quiet backroads, and a few stretches of paving stones and concrete. The scenery switches between rural landscapes at the start, perhaps with some storks in the fields, and then gradually gives way to Mannheim’s urban buzz.

Mannheim itself is full of surprises: it’s famous for its grid-pattern streets—pretty unique for Germany—and is the hometown of both the bicycle and the automobile! There’s always something happening around the city’s squares and parks.

Whether you’re commuting or just out for a cruise, this ride offers a great mix of tranquility and city vibes, all just a short spin apart.
