Cycling day trip from Augsburg to Landsberg am Lech

Enjoy a scenic ride from the heart of Augsburg down to Landsberg am Lech! Starting in Augsburg, a city that blends Roman roots with rich Renaissance flair (perfect for a pre-ride coffee in the old town), you’ll head south on a mostly paved, super bike-friendly route. With pretty gentle rolling hills (229 meters up, 82 meters down), it’s easy on the legs and great for enjoying the views.

About 70% of your journey will be on bike paths and quiet roads, passing through lush countryside and small Bavarian villages—ideal for a snack break or two. As you continue, the River Lech keeps you company on much of the route, eventually leading you to the fairytale town of Landsberg am Lech. This gem is famous for its medieval gates, pastel houses, and winding alleys.

The whole ride is just over 55 km—perfect for a half-day adventure. Don’t forget to treat yourself to some Leberkäs or a local pastry at the destination!
