Cycling day trip from Cottbus to Spremberg

Set off from the heart of Cottbus—famous for its pretty Altmarkt square and historic buildings—for a gentle spin to Spremberg. This 33 km ride is largely flat with around 200 meters of climbing, so it’s manageable for most cyclists without too many tough sections. The route is made up of mainly paved paths and asphalt (hello, smooth riding!), with a few delightful stretches over paving stones for a bit of extra character.

You’ll cruise through peaceful countryside and quiet villages, swapping city bustle for easygoing rural vibes. With over half the ride on dedicated pathways, you'll have space to relax and take in the scenery.

Your finish line is Spremberg, an inviting small town known for its island-based historic center in the Spree river. Reward yourself with a café break in the quaint old town before heading back or hopping a train home. All in all, it’s a rewarding escape from city life and a great way to explore southern Brandenburg on two wheels!
