Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Neustadt an der Donau à Ratisbonne

This scenic cycling route takes you from Neustadt an der Donau to the historic city of Regensburg, covering just under 56 km of varied Bavarian countryside. You’ll roll out from Neustadt, a small town known for its thermal spas and surrounded by the vineyards of the Hallertau hop-growing region—perfect for an early morning start.

The route is a pleasant mix, mostly quiet roads and gentle paths, with a little over 500 meters of ascent—enough for a good workout but never too steep. About two thirds of the way is on smooth, paved or asphalt surfaces, but expect some gravel stretches and unpaved sections, so a reliable touring or gravel bike is ideal.

Regensburg awaits at the end, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its medieval old town, the impressive Stone Bridge, and vibrant riverside cafés. With minimal traffic and lush landscapes along the way, this ride is perfect for savoring both the journey and the destination. Make sure to stop for a riverside snack or a few photos—this is classic Bavaria at its best!
