Excursión ciclista de un día de Érfurt a Weimar

This scenic route takes you from Erfurt to Weimar, two gems in the heart of Thuringia. Starting in Erfurt, you’ll cycle out of a city famous for its medieval old town and impressive cathedral. The ride is just under 29 km—long enough to stretch your legs but not too daunting for a relaxed day out.

You’ll pedal mostly on quiet roads and tracks, with a gentle ascent of about 160 meters. The surface is predominantly smooth, with over 80% paved or asphalt, though you’ll get a little taste of adventure with some cobblestone and paving stone sections (watch those bumps!).

Along the way, you’ll enjoy rural landscapes, open fields, and perhaps catch glimpses of the classic Thuringian countryside. The route is peaceful, with little traffic for most of the journey.

Your ride wraps up in Weimar, the cultural heart of Germany and home to Goethe, Schiller, and the Bauhaus movement. Take some time to grab a coffee and soak up the historic atmosphere before heading back or exploring more.
