Cycling day trip from Halberstadt to Aschersleben

This ride takes you from Halberstadt to Aschersleben—a leisurely 44.5 km journey through the heart of Saxony-Anhalt. Halberstadt’s charming old town, known for its stunning cathedral and historic half-timbered houses, sets the perfect starting point for your adventure.

As you pedal south, the route is mostly paved with a nice mix of quiet farm tracks and peaceful country paths. Expect gentle ups and downs—nothing too intense, with just over 130 meters of ascent. You’ll roll past open fields and small villages, soaking in the rural vibe.

The surface varies a bit—there’s plenty of concrete and asphalt alongside stretches of paving stones. Don’t worry, only a tiny bit is unpaved, so it’s smooth sailing most of the way. After a few hours on the bike, you’ll arrive in Aschersleben, one of the region’s oldest towns, famed for its medieval city wall and vibrant market square.

Grab a coffee, stroll the historic streets, and enjoy the feeling of cycling across a lesser-traveled slice of Germany.
