Excursión ciclista de un día de Donaueschingen a Tuttlingen

This scenic ride takes you from Donaueschingen, the “source of the Danube,” all the way to Tuttlingen through the lush landscapes of the Baar. Donaueschingen is famous for its baroque palace and, of course, the place where the Danube River springs to life—a must-see before you get rolling.

The route is just over 37 km, mostly smooth paved paths and quiet roads, making for super pleasant cycling. As you follow the young Danube, you’ll weave through green meadows, peaceful forests, and charming Swabian villages. With only gentle climbs (about 176 m ascent) and a bit more descent, it’s beginner-friendly without skimping on beautiful views.

You’ll finish in Tuttlingen, a lively little town known for its historic old town and medical technology industry. The town sits right on the Danube and is surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs, making it a cool place to end your ride and maybe grab a well-earned coffee.

Perfect for anyone who loves riverside cycling and a taste of German countryside charm!
