Excursión ciclista de un día de Leipzig a Halle

This route takes you on a laid-back ride from Leipzig to Halle, a classic Saxony-Anhalt adventure! Starting in Leipzig—a vibrant city known for its lively art scene and historic central square—you’ll head northwest through open countryside, quiet villages, and peaceful woodlands. Most of the 50 km is on a mix of smooth asphalt and good-quality paved paths, though about a fifth is unpaved (think gravel or packed ground), so wider tires will make things more comfortable.

You’ll clock less than 100 meters of ascent and descent, so hills won’t slow you down much. Expect a pleasant blend of cycleways, tracks, and some quiet roads, mostly away from heavy traffic. Approaching Halle, you’ll spot the city’s skyline—keep an eye out for the five famous towers. Once in Halle, explore its charming Old Town and check out the renowned Händel House, birthplace of the famous composer.

All in all, this is a perfect route for a chill day out, ideal for intermediate cyclists who like a bit of variety in both scenery and surfaces!
