Excursión ciclista de un día de Ingolstadt a Kelheim

This scenic route takes you from the historic city of Ingolstadt to the charming river town of Kelheim, covering about 62 kilometers. Starting in Ingolstadt—famous for its medieval old town and as the birthplace of the Audi car brand—you’ll roll out through a mix of quiet roads, cycle paths, and forested tracks. The ride has a good mix of paved (roughly 62%), asphalt, and some fun gravel sections, so a hybrid or gravel bike is a great choice.

You’ll enjoy gentle rolling hills, with nearly equal amounts of ascent and descent, and the max elevation just over 440 meters keeps things manageable. After leaving Ingolstadt’s vibrant vibe behind, expect tranquil countryside and woodland stretches, perfect for soaking up nature.

Kelheim, your destination, sits beautifully at the confluence of the Altmühl and Danube Rivers. Here, you can check out impressive sights like the Liberation Hall (Befreiungshalle) and maybe relax with a riverside snack or drink. With minimal busy roads, this is a great adventure for anyone who enjoys exploring Bavaria by bike!
