Cycling day trip from Böblingen to Stuttgart

This ride takes you from Böblingen, a town known for its rich automotive history (Mercedes-Benz anyone?) and pretty lakes, all the way to the bustling city of Stuttgart. Covering just over 24 km, it’s a fun mix of mostly smooth asphalt and some paving stones thrown in for variety. The route is gentle on the legs, with a steady ascent of about 220 meters and a nice, long descent into Stuttgart—just enough to give you a little thrill as you roll into town.

Most of your journey keeps you off busy roads, cruising along quiet streets, bike paths, and even a couple of scenic tracks. You’ll soak up a blend of countryside vibes and city energy, especially as you draw closer to Stuttgart—the vibrant capital of Baden-Württemberg, famous for its parks, vineyards, and top-notch cultural scene.

It’s a great way to spend a morning or afternoon if you want to escape the city for a bit or enjoy a scenic commute. Don’t forget to reward yourself with a coffee and a pretzel when you arrive!
