Cycling from Gerlingen to Stuttgart

Looking for a scenic and mostly relaxing ride into Stuttgart? Starting from Gerlingen, a quiet suburb west of Stuttgart, this 15 km route is ideal for city commuters and weekend explorers alike. You'll roll out through peaceful residential streets and leafy paths, with a gentle ascent (almost 200 meters up, nothing too wild) before coasting down toward Stuttgart’s bustling center.

The route is almost entirely paved—mostly smooth asphalt—which makes it perfect for any type of bike. About three-quarters of your ride is on tranquil roads and dedicated paths, so you won’t have to worry much about traffic. Expect a bit of gentle climbing early on, then enjoy the long descent as you approach Stuttgart, famous for its dynamic city vibe, automotive heritage, and lush city parks.

Gerlingen is a sleepy spot known for its relaxed pace, but once you hit Stuttgart you’ll feel the energy pick up. Park your bike at Schlossplatz and grab a coffee—it’s a great way to finish this worry-free journey!
