Cycling day trip from Bremerhaven to Bremen

This route takes you on a delightful ride from Bremerhaven down to Bremen, covering just over 70 kilometers—perfect for a satisfying day in the saddle without pushing into serious endurance territory! You'll start in Bremerhaven, a bustling port city known for its maritime history and the impressive German Emigration Center. From there, you’ll head south through mostly paved routes, first gliding along riverside paths and then weaving through quiet countryside roads. The path is wonderfully manageable, with only gentle climbs (max elevation under 50 meters), so it’s great for most cyclists.

Around 88% of the route is paved, with a nice mix of asphalt and some sections of paving stones, which adds a bit of character but won’t slow you down. You’ll have a few short gravel stretches, so wider tires aren’t a bad idea. The scenery changes from windswept North Sea vibes to lush farmland before you roll into Bremen—a lively city with a medieval old town, the famous Bremen Town Musicians statue, and loads of cozy cafés to refuel at the finish. Enjoy the ride!
