Excursión ciclista de un día de Chemnitz a Leipzig

Gear up for a scenic ride from Chemnitz to Leipzig! This roughly 109 km route takes you north through the heart of Saxony, mixing quiet roads (43%) with peaceful paths and a solid stretch of asphalt (71%). Chemnitz, once called “the city of modernity,” is filled with industrial history and quirky architecture—don’t miss the giant Marx head as you depart.

You’ll climb almost 560 meters (and descend even more), with the terrain gently rolling most of the way—no brutal mountain passes here. The surfaces are mostly paved, though you'll hit occasional gravel and paving stones, so wider tires are a plus. About a quarter of your ride is on dedicated paths, so you’ll have plenty of time off the main roads to soak in rural Saxony’s fields and forests.

Roll into vibrant Leipzig, famous for its buzzing arts scene, cool cafés, and musical history (Bach lived and worked here!). Take a victory lap at Augustusplatz or unwind in one of the city parks. Perfect for a full day’s adventure!
