Quick ride by bicycle from Höchberg to Würzburg

This ride takes you from the small town of Höchberg into the heart of Würzburg, a Bavarian city famous for its baroque architecture and vineyards. The route’s just over 8 km, so you’ll get a nice taste of the Franconian countryside without it turning into a marathon.

You’ll roll mostly on quiet roads and smooth asphalt—great for a relaxed pace. Expect a gentle climb right at the start, but after that, it’s rolling and even a bit downhill as you approach Würzburg. Most of your ride keeps away from heavy traffic, passing through green patches and the edge of Würzburg’s suburbs.

Once you hit Würzburg, look out for the city’s stunning landmarks like the Festung Marienberg (perched above the river) and the UNESCO-listed Residenz. Perfect excuse to stop for a coffee or a pretzel!

Pro tip: Take it easy on the short cobblestone sections and soak in those Main Valley views as you glide into the city.
