Cycling day trip from Bremen to Worpswede

This cycling route takes you from the heart of Bremen—a bustling Hanseatic city famous for its Schnoor quarter and the iconic Bremen Town Musicians—out to the scenic artist’s village of Worpswede. The ride covers just over 22 km, mostly on paved surfaces with the occasional stretch of gravel and historic paving stones, offering a mix of urban and rural vibes.

Starting in Bremen, you’ll quickly leave city life behind as you pedal northwards, mostly along quiet roads and cycle paths. The ride is pretty gentle with only slight hills, so it’s suitable for most cyclists looking for a relaxed escape.

As you approach Worpswede, you might notice the landscape opening up into low moorlands and farmland—a favorite subject for the many artists who flocked here since the 19th century. Don’t miss a look around the galleries, cafés, and distinctive houses upon arrival.

Pack a snack, enjoy the changing scenery, and soak up the creative spirit at your destination!
