Cycling day trip from Bremen to Cuxhaven

Set off from the historic heart of Bremen, famous for its UNESCO-listed Town Hall and the quirky Bremen Town Musicians statue, and roll northwards on a scenic ride up to the North Sea coast at Cuxhaven. This 119 km route takes you through the flat, green landscapes of Lower Saxony—a true treat for cyclists who love the countryside and big skies.

Most of your journey is on smooth, paved surfaces and quiet roads, with the occasional stretch of paving stones or gravel adding to the adventure. Enjoy peaceful bike paths along dikes, charming villages, and likely a tailwind pushing you toward the coast.

As you approach Cuxhaven, feel the salty air and look forward to the sandy beaches where the Elbe meets the North Sea. Known as a gateway to the Wadden Sea (another UNESCO World Heritage Site), Cuxhaven is perfect for a celebratory seaside stroll after your ride. Don’t forget your camera—a sunset here is not to be missed!
