Gita in bici di un giorno da Ulma a Dillingen an der Donau

Get ready for a lovely riverside ride from Ulm to Dillingen an der Donau! Starting out in Ulm, you’ll have the iconic twin spires of Ulm Minster as your backdrop—it’s the church with the world’s tallest steeple. From there, the route heads northwest along mostly paved paths (over 90%), making for smooth cycling as you trace the scenic Danube, passing fields and picturesque villages.

With a gentle 116 m ascent and a bit more descent, it’s a relaxed ride suitable for most cyclists. The path is mostly quiet and peaceful—perfect for soaking up river views, spotting the occasional heron, or stopping for a riverside picnic. Dillingen welcomes you at the end, known for its charming old town and impressive Renaissance palace.

If you’re keen on avoiding traffic, you’ll be glad to hear that the route’s mostly on cycleways, quiet roads, and dedicated paths. So pack some snacks, bring a camera, and enjoy a classic stretch of Germany’s Donau cycle route!
