Quick ride by bicycle from Augsburg to Gersthofen

This easy-going ride takes you from the heart of Augsburg—a city steeped in Roman history and cool Renaissance vibes—up to Gersthofen, a smaller town just north of the city. The route is about 8 km, mostly flat, and rolls along a nice mix of paved and gravel paths. You’ll cruise past some quieter roads and leafy trails, so it’s perfect for a relaxed afternoon spin.

Along the way, you’ll pass through suburban neighborhoods and possibly brush up against the Lech river, which adds a bit of natural charm to the sideline. Most of the route is off the main roads, keeping things calm and safe for less experienced riders.

When you arrive in Gersthofen, you’ll find a friendly, laid-back town known for hosting festivals and friendly cafés—an ideal spot to grab a post-ride snack. All in all, it’s an enjoyable, short ride that connects city culture with small-town coziness.
