Sortie rapide à vélo de Bad Homburg vor der Höhe à Bad Vilbel

This scenic bike ride takes you from the spa town of Bad Homburg to Bad Vilbel, just northeast of Frankfurt, cruising through 15 km of mostly paved paths and tranquil side roads. Starting in Bad Homburg, known for its elegant Kurpark and historic casino, you’ll roll along routes with gentle climbs (about 60 meters of ascent) and a pleasant overall descent into the Nidda river valley.

The route is super rider-friendly—think smooth asphalt, the occasional stretch of paving stones, and only brief bits of gravel to add a hint of adventure. Most of your ride travels along bike paths and quiet roads, making it perfect for a relaxing pace. As you get closer to Bad Vilbel, you might catch a whiff of fresh spring water—the town is famous for its mineral springs and the annual Quellenfest (Spring Festival).

In just around an hour, this ride is a perfect way to link two charming towns, take in some river scenery, and enjoy a taste of the Taunus foothills, all without breaking too much of a sweat!
