Cycling day trip from Bremen to Lemwerder

Cycling Route: Bremen to Lemwerder

Set out on a leisurely ride from the heart of Bremen, a vibrant city known for its medieval old town and role as a Hanseatic trading hub, and make your way northwest toward the peaceful riverside town of Lemwerder. The route covers just over 22 km and is nice and flat—ideal for a relaxed cruise rather than a sweaty sprint.

You’ll follow a pleasant mix of cycle paths and quiet roads, almost entirely on smooth, paved surfaces—so you don’t need your gravel bike for this one! Expect stretches along the river Weser, passing green open spaces, historic shipyards, and countryside that feels a world away from city bustle.

Arriving in Lemwerder, you’ll find a small town famed for its aircraft factory and riverside beaches—a perfect spot to unwind after the ride. Don’t forget to grab a snack at a riverside café before heading back or hopping onto a ferry for more adventures down the Weser.
