Quick ride by bicycle from Göppingen to Eislingen

Here’s a pleasant little cycling spin from Göppingen to Eislingen—perfect if you’re after a short ride that doesn’t skimp on local charm. Starting in Göppingen, you’ll be rolling out from a city known for its rich industrial history (hello, Märklin model trains!) and lively town center.

The route itself is just over 5 km—ideal for a leisurely hour with time to stop for photos or coffee. You’ll mostly ride on paved roads, enjoying the mix of quiet side streets, dedicated bike paths, and even a few stretches through peaceful residential areas. Aside from one or two gentle rises (don’t worry, barely 23 meters total ascent), it’s a mellow route suited to all levels.

As you reach Eislingen, you’ll find another friendly Swabian town, known for its community spirit and proximity to the comfortably green Fils River valley. Both towns are prime examples of Baden-Württemberg’s relaxed lifestyle—so take it easy, soak up the local scenery, and enjoy the ride!
