Quick ride by bicycle from Hanover to Garbsen

Ready for a relaxed ride from the heart of Hanover out to Garbsen? This 12.6 km route meanders northwest and is a nice mix of paved, asphalt, and some leafy gravel stretches—perfect for a city bike or hybrid. Starting in Hanover, you'll roll out from a city known for its lush gardens (don’t miss the famous Herrenhausen Gardens if you have time on the way out) and head into quieter scenery.

You'll cruise mostly on paths and tracks, enjoying an easygoing ascent and descent that barely register—this route is impressively flat, so you can just enjoy the spin without dreading any big climbs. About two-thirds of the way is paved, and there’s enough variation (a few sections of gravel and paving stones) to keep things interesting.

As you approach Garbsen, you’ll notice the city’s green spaces and residential neighborhoods. Garbsen makes a pleasant contrast to Hanover’s lively center—why not grab a coffee and relax at one of the local parks before heading back? All in all, it’s an easygoing ride that gets you out of the bustle and into some peace without much effort.
