Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Gelnhausen à Hanau

This ride takes you from the charming medieval town of Gelnhausen to the vibrant city of Hanau, stretching just under 30 km. The route is mostly flat with a gentle descent—great if you want a cruisy day out without major climbs. You’ll roll out on a mix of smooth asphalt and well-maintained paths (over 95% paved), mostly sticking to quiet roads and cycle paths, making for a relaxed journey.

Gelnhausen itself is famed for its well-preserved old town—definitely worth a quick stroll before you set off. The route winds through the beautiful Kinzig valley, so expect some scenic river views and plenty of green space along the way. There’s a good mix of nature and small towns to keep things interesting, and, since Hanau is known as the birthplace of the Brothers Grimm, consider grabbing a fairy tale-themed treat when you arrive!

With easy navigation, little traffic, and only minor altitude changes, it’s a fantastic option for a chill weekend ride.
