Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Hanovre à Hildesheim

This route takes you from the vibrant city of Hanover down south to the charming town of Hildesheim—both rich in history, yet worlds apart in character. You’ll roll out from Hanover, known for its green spaces and culture, onto a mostly paved route (with some stretches of asphalt and paving stones), passing through a mix of lush countryside and quiet roads.

Expect gentle hills along the way—about 129 meters of ascent in total, nothing too taxing—and cycle primarily on paths and quiet back roads, perfect for a relaxed ride. You'll get glimpses of rural northern Germany, small villages, and maybe a stork or two if you’re lucky.

After roughly 38 kilometers, you’ll arrive in Hildesheim, famous for its UNESCO-listed St. Mary’s Cathedral and charming medieval market square. Reward yourself with a coffee and a stroll through the old town before heading back or hopping a train. All in all, it's a scenic and approachable ride for most cyclists.
