Excursión ciclista de un día de Wurzburgo a Bamberg

Get ready for a scenic ride from Würzburg to Bamberg! You’ll pedal about 108 km through northern Bavaria, mostly on lovely paved paths and quiet country roads—perfect for a day’s adventure. Würzburg, famous for its UNESCO-listed Residenz palace and lush vineyards, is your starting point. The route is mostly flat with a few gentle climbs adding up to nearly 800 meters of ascent, so pace yourself and enjoy the rolling Franconian landscapes.

You’ll sweep past small villages, farmland, and rivers, making plenty of picturesque stops possible. The path is overwhelmingly smooth asphalt and paved surfaces, so you don’t need a mountain bike—any road or touring bike will do just fine. As you get closer to Bamberg, be sure to take in its mesmerizing old town, also a UNESCO site, with charming half-timbered houses and the famous Bamberg Cathedral.

Expect to spend much of your time on peaceful cycle paths away from traffic, with some stretches on very quiet rural roads. This ride is all about soaking in northern Bavaria’s tranquil beauty—so don’t forget your camera, and maybe plan for a riverside picnic along the way!
