Cycling day trip from Bremen to Verden an der Aller

This relaxed cycling route takes you from the lively city of Bremen to the charming town of Verden an der Aller, crossing around 42 km of mostly paved paths (so, smooth riding nearly all the way!). Starting in Bremen, famous for its UNESCO World Heritage-listed Town Hall and the storybook Bremen Town Musicians, you’ll head south through quiet residential areas and tranquil countryside.

Most of the route follows dedicated cycle paths or peaceful roads, with gentle ascents that top out at just below 37 meters—so you're in for a pretty flat and breezy ride. Rural landscapes, old farmhouses, and the odd river view keep things scenic before you roll into Verden, renowned for its impressive cathedral and horse-breeding tradition. Take a break at a local café or explore the picturesque old town when you arrive—Verden’s a great spot to unwind after your ride. All in all, it’s the perfect day trip for anyone who enjoys a mellow pedal with a dash of northern German charm.
