Quick ride by bicycle from Bad Homburg to Friedrichsdorf

This easygoing ride takes you from the elegant spa town of Bad Homburg to the relaxed streets of Friedrichsdorf, perfect for a quick scenic escape! You’ll roll mostly along quiet roads and paved tracks (expect silky-smooth asphalt almost the whole way), with just a gentle climb or two—nothing too taxing, so it’s great for everyday cyclists.

Starting at Bad Homburg, famous for its historic Kurpark, casinos, and gorgeous old town, you’ll wind northward through peaceful neighborhoods and green pockets. The ascent is gradual, giving you a chance to enjoy some countryside views as you approach Friedrichsdorf, a town known for its connection to the inventor of the zipper and its charming old station area.

With only about 5 kilometers to cover, you can take it easy and soak in the scenery or pick up the pace if you’re in a hurry. Either way, it’s a delightful stretch—especially with almost zero cobblestones to rattle your handlebars!
