By bicycle from Heidelberg to Leimen

Start your ride in Heidelberg, a vibrant university city nestled along the Neckar River and famous for its romantic old town and iconic castle ruins. From there, you’ll roll south towards Leimen, a smaller but charming town known as the birthplace of tennis legend Boris Becker.

This route is just about 9 kilometers, making it perfect for a relaxed spin or a commute. You'll mostly ride on quiet roads and scenic paths, with a gentle downhill trend that makes the journey smooth and enjoyable. The surface is mainly paved and asphalt, so you won’t have to worry about rough patches, though there’s a bit of variety to keep things interesting.

As you approach Leimen, you might notice the shift from Heidelberg’s bustling atmosphere to a more laid-back, local vibe. Grab a coffee in Leimen’s center or take a short detour to explore the fields around. All in all, a lovely little ride connecting two distinct spots in the Baden-Württemberg region!
