Gita in bici di un giorno da Tubinga a Esslingen

Set off from the university town of Tübingen, where cobbled streets and colorful half-timbered houses set a charming vibe. This ride takes you north through lush countryside and quiet villages toward Esslingen am Neckar—a historic gem known for its medieval old town and beautiful riverside views.

Most of the 47 km route is on paved surfaces (with just a dash of gravel), and you’ll spend plenty of time on quiet roads and tracks, perfect for soaking up the scenery without much traffic. Expect a moderate workout: while there’s a steady 470 meters of climbing (and even more descending), the route never gets mountainous.

As you roll into Esslingen, reward yourself with a walk through its picture-perfect market square or visit the old castle. It’s a great mix of nature and history, with peaceful riding and plenty to explore at either end.
