Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Karlsruhe à Heidelberg

This is a great ride for anyone looking to experience two classic southwestern German cities in one go! Starting in Karlsruhe, known for its fan-shaped layout and vibrant cultural scene, you'll set off on mostly smooth, paved paths – expect plenty of peace and quiet, with 97% of the route paved and hardly any busy roads.

The ride is just under 67 km, winding north across the Upper Rhine Plain. Most sections are on bike paths or quiet tracks, perfect for a comfortable cruise. You'll encounter only gentle ups and downs, with less than 120 meters of total ascent and descent, so it's an approachable ride even if you're not chasing Strava KOMs.

The route finishes in beautiful Heidelberg, famous for its romantic old town and iconic hilltop castle. Park your bike and stroll along the Neckar River or explore the cobbled streets — you’ve earned it! With good surfaces and a scenic finish, this journey is all about relaxed exploration rather than a hardcore challenge.
