Excursión ciclista de un día de Herrenberg a Tubinga

This scenic ride takes you from Herrenberg—known for its charming medieval Old Town and the impressive Stiftskirche—over to the university city of Tübingen. You’ll cruise along about 20 km of mostly paved surfaces, so it’s smooth rolling just about all the way. The route weaves through quiet rural tracks and serene backroads, making it a great option if you’re looking to avoid traffic and enjoy the landscape.

With a mild ascent and a nice long descent (you’ll drop about 171 meters overall!), this ride feels easier than it looks on paper, especially as you near the lush Neckar valley. Most of the way is really peaceful, with just a sprinkling of paths and cycleways as you approach Tübingen—a lively town full of half-timbered houses, cozy cafés, and riverside vibes.

Whether you’re stopping for a coffee in Herrenberg’s historic market square before setting off, or planning to explore Tübingen’s cobblestone streets afterward, this ride is a lovely snapshot of the Baden-Württemberg countryside.
