Sortie rapide à vélo de Wiesbaden à Taunusstein

Set off from historic Wiesbaden, famous for its elegant art nouveau architecture and bubbling hot springs, and pedal your way northwest into the lush, rolling Taunus hills. This roughly 16.5 km ride offers a satisfying mix of paved and gravel surfaces—mostly peaceful country tracks and quiet side roads—so it’s perfect if you want to escape city traffic and breathe in some fresh forest air.

There’s a decent climb as you leave Wiesbaden, gaining over 400 meters in elevation, with the Taunus gradually opening up around you. Expect gorgeous woodland views, little villages, and maybe the occasional deer. The terrain switches between smooth asphalt and well-kept gravel, so a hybrid or gravel bike is a good pick for comfort.

You’ll finish in Taunusstein, a small town surrounded by scenic countryside and hiking trails—a great spot to grab a coffee or explore a bit more. Don’t forget your camera: some of the hilltop views are spectacular!
