Cycling day trip from Bremen to Ottersberg

If you’re up for a relaxed countryside ride, this route from Bremen to Ottersberg is perfect! Starting in the vibrant city of Bremen—famous for its UNESCO World Heritage town hall and the quirky Bremen Town Musicians statue—you’ll escape the urban buzz pretty quickly. The journey is a breezy 34 km, mostly flat with only gentle inclines (no mountains to climb, promise).

You’ll cruise along a mix of smooth asphalt, some stretches of concrete, and a few charming paving stones—so your tires (and your backside) will be happy for most of the trip. The route sticks mainly to quiet paths and country tracks, letting you enjoy classic North German landscapes: open fields, patches of woodland, and the odd sleepy village.

Ottersberg is your destination—a small, artistic town known for its scenic moors and lively culture thanks to its arts academy. Perfect for a café break before heading back or hopping on the train. So, fill your water bottle, check your gears, and enjoy a ride that’s more about the journey than the elevation.
