Quick ride by bicycle from Goslar to Bad Harzburg

This ride takes you from the beautiful medieval town of Goslar, nestled on the northern edge of the Harz Mountains, to the relaxing spa town of Bad Harzburg. Expect just over 15 km of mostly mellow riding, with a bit of climbing (about 200 meters up and down) to keep things interesting—not too tough, but enough to get your legs warmed up!

You’ll start by rolling through historic Goslar, known for its UNESCO-listed Old Town and centuries-old half-timbered houses. The route is a nice mix—almost entirely paved or asphalt, mostly on quiet roads and scenic paths. You’ll pass forested sections and maybe catch a glimpse of the brooding Harz hills before the gentle descent into Bad Harzburg, famous for its thermal baths and cable car up the Burgberg.

It’s a fantastic short ride for anyone who enjoys a bit of history, nature, and a rewarding finish—maybe cap it off with a soak or coffee in Bad Harzburg. Don’t worry about busy roads; this route keeps things peaceful and pleasant for cyclists!
