Quick ride by bicycle from Kassel to Guxhagen

This scenic 18.5 km ride takes you from the vibrant city of Kassel down to the peaceful town of Guxhagen. Kassel, known for its beautiful Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe and the famous Documenta art exhibition, sets a culturally rich starting point for your journey. The route heads south, with gentle rolling hills and just over 120 meters of ascent—so it’s a bit of a workout, but nothing too intense.

You’ll enjoy mainly paved surfaces (over 94%), gliding along quiet roads and leafy paths for most of the way. There’s a pleasant mix of urban edges, tranquil countryside, and the occasional cobbled stretch to keep things interesting. With most of the ride away from busy traffic, it’s ideal for a relaxed spin or a beginner-friendly tour.

Arriving in Guxhagen, you'll find a charming village vibe nestled along the Fulda River—a lovely contrast to Kassel’s urban buzz. Perfect for a coffee break or riverside picnic before you decide whether to ride back or hop on the train!
