À vélo de Taucha à Leipzig

This is a lovely, mostly easy ride from Taucha to Leipzig, covering just under 13 km. Starting in Taucha—a small town just northeast of Leipzig, known for its charming old town and regular local markets—you’ll quickly find yourself rolling through mostly flat terrain with just a gentle ascent and descent.

The majority of the route is paved and smooth, with over half of it being on paths and plenty on quiet roads. About 18% of your ride will take you across old paving stones, adding a bit of character (and maybe a gentle rattle) to your ride. There’s almost no unpaved sections, so you won’t get your tires muddy.

As you approach Leipzig, you’ll notice the city’s famous blend of old and new: from grand 19th-century buildings to lively cafés and parks. Leipzig is well-known for its role in music history, with connections to Bach and Mendelssohn, and its thriving arts scene. You’ll finish up in the heart of the city—plenty of spots to rest and refuel at the end!
