Cycling day trip from Göttingen to Hannoversch Münden

This ride takes you from the lively university town of Göttingen to the picturesque Hannoversch Münden—two gems in southern Lower Saxony. Starting in Göttingen (famous for its rich academic history and charming Altstadt), you’ll cruise south through rolling countryside and patches of tranquil forest. Most of the 35 km route runs along smooth paved cycleways and quiet roads, keeping things easy on the legs, even though there are a few hilly sections with a total ascent of almost 400 meters.

Your reward? Cruising into Hannoversch Münden, a fairy-tale town uniquely set at the confluence of three rivers—the Werra, Fulda, and Weser. Don’t miss the half-timbered houses and old-town atmosphere when you arrive. This route is ideal for anyone wanting a scenic, moderately challenging day trip with plenty of history and nature along the way.
