Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Bad Vilbel à Sulzbach

This scenic cycling route takes you from the spa town of Bad Vilbel to Sulzbach, just outside Frankfurt. Starting in Bad Vilbel—famous for its mineral springs and historic old town—you'll cruise mostly along quiet roads and well-paved paths. The ride covers about 23 km, with gentle ups and downs (about 180 meters total ascent), so it’s a nice workout without being too tough.

Along the way, you’ll weave through a mix of lush countryside and quaint Hessian villages. Over 70% of the route is smooth asphalt, so you can really enjoy the ride. There are a few brief stretches on concrete or paving stones, and only tiny bits of gravel or unpaved sections—nothing a sturdy city or trekking bike can’t handle.

Roll into Sulzbach, a cozy community known for its friendly vibe and half-timbered buildings. It’s a great spot to grab a coffee at a local café or explore the charming center before heading back. This route is perfect if you want a relaxing day out on the bike and a taste of both nature and local culture.
