Frankfurt am Main to Bad Homburg – Scenic Ride Just North of the City

Kick off your ride in the bustling heart of Frankfurt am Main, one of Germany’s financial and cultural capitals, known for its futuristic skyline and riverside cycling paths. Heading north, you’ll leave the city behind and wind your way along mostly smooth, paved surfaces (with just a touch of adventure on some paving stones and gravel). The route covers about 18 km with a gentle ascent of around 120 meters, so you’ll get a nice workout without anything too steep.

Most of your journey will be on quiet roads and cycle paths, making it relaxed and beginner-friendly. As you approach your destination, you’ll be welcomed by the charm of Bad Homburg, famous for its grand spa gardens and historic old town. There’s hardly any rough terrain—mainly smooth tracks, with most of your route flanked by leafy parklands or peaceful suburbs.

Perfect for a leisurely weekend ride, this route offers a taste of both city life and the green calm of the Taunus foothills, topped off with a bit of local history at either end. Don’t forget to explore Bad Homburg’s famous Kurpark or the picturesque castle once you arrive!
