Quick ride by bicycle from Ditzingen to Leonberg

This neat cycling route starts out in Ditzingen, a charming small town just northwest of Stuttgart, known for its old-town feel and relaxed Baden-Württemberg vibe. You’ll roll mostly along quiet roads and peaceful paths—less than 2% of the ride touches busier roads, so it’s perfect if you’re looking to avoid traffic.

The ride tracks just over 9 km, snaking southwest through gentle fields and patches of forest. There are a couple of decent climbs along the way (expect about 190 meters of ascent), but nothing too wild—the max elevation is around 460 meters.

Cruising into Leonberg, you’ll spot its historic old town perched on a hill. Don’t miss the view from the market square or a look at the famous Pomeranzengarten—a Renaissance terraced garden. With almost the entire route on paved or asphalt surfaces, it’s a smooth ride suitable for any bike and all types of riders, whether you’re out for fitness or just want to enjoy a slice of scenic Swabia.
