Quick ride by bicycle from Klein Schwülper to Braunschweig

Easy spin from village vibes to city buzz. Roll out of Klein Schwülper, a quiet part of the Schwülper municipality by the Oker, and head southeast toward Braunschweig. It’s about 16.4 km and mostly flat, with gentle ups and downs only—perfect for an unhurried ride.

You’ll spend most of the way on dedicated cycleways and paths, with short stretches on quiet roads. Surfaces are largely smooth asphalt; expect some paving stones as you get closer to the center. If you like waterside riding, you can track sections along the Oker or the Mittelland Canal before slipping into the city.

Braunschweig greets you with a mix of medieval and modern: the Burgplatz with the iconic Lion statue, the reconstructed Schlossfassade at Schloss Arkaden, and plenty of cafés in the Magniviertel. Watch for pedestrians and tram tracks downtown, then lock up and enjoy a coffee—this route is more about the glide than the grind.
