Quick ride by bicycle from Kassel to Lohfelden

This ride starts out in the heart of Kassel, a vibrant city in northern Hesse known for its art, parks, and as the home of the famous documenta art exhibition. Heading south towards Lohfelden, you’ll cover just over 9 km on a route that’s mostly paved and pleasantly quiet, weaving through some serene back roads and suburban spaces.

Along the way, you’ll gain a modest 69 meters in elevation (just enough to get the legs working but nothing too crazy), with most surfaces being smooth asphalt and only a few patches of cobblestone or paving stones for character. The route is mostly away from busy roads, so it’s perfect for a relaxed afternoon spin or a steady commute.

Your trip ends in Lohfelden, a friendly town just outside Kassel. Lohfelden is a great spot to refuel, stretch out, or grab a coffee before heading back. All in all, this is a breezy point-to-point ride ideal for everyday cyclists looking to mix a bit of city sightseeing with some peaceful suburban stretches.
