Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Ratisbonne à Kelheim

This ride takes you from the historic city of Regensburg, with its stunning medieval old town on the Danube, to the charming town of Kelheim—famous for its striking Befreiungshalle monument and the impressive Danube Gorge.

Your journey covers about 34 kilometers and is a great mix for anyone who likes smooth cycling with a bit of adventure. Around half the time, you’ll be gliding over quiet roads and asphalt, perfect for enjoying the scenic Bavarian countryside. The rest includes some well-kept gravel sections and unpaved paths, especially as you roll closer to the lush river landscapes near Kelheim. You’ll climb just under 400 meters, so expect a few steady hills to keep things interesting and give you some nice views.

Once you reach Kelheim, park your bike by the river and treat yourself to a local beer—or hop on a boat into the Danube Gorge! It's a perfect route if you love a dose of history with your cycling and a bit of variety under your wheels.
