Quick ride by bicycle from Dornstadt to Ulm

Dornstadt to Ulm Cycling Route

This ride from Dornstadt to Ulm is a smooth, mostly downhill cruise—perfect if you’re up for a relaxed journey with a rewarding finish in one of Baden-Württemberg’s most fascinating cities! You'll kick off in Dornstadt, a charming village sitting at over 600 meters elevation, best known for its tranquil surroundings just north of Ulm.

The route is around 11.5 km, mostly paved and following a mix of bike paths, tracks, and some quiet roads—meaning you’ll have plenty of peace and greenery along the way. With a gentle descent (you’ll drop over 170 meters), most of the effort is saved for taking in the scenery, not climbing hills.

You’ll eventually roll into Ulm, home to the tallest church steeple in the world at Ulm Minster, and a lively old town along the Danube. Whether you want a riverside break or a bit of city buzz, Ulm’s a great place to finish. Perfect for an easy afternoon spin with plenty to discover at both ends!
