In bici da Poing a Kirchheim bei München

This ride takes you from the charming town of Poing, just east of Munich, to the lovely Kirchheim bei München—a great little spin if you’re after a relaxed, semi-rural escape close to the city. The distance is a bit over 7 km, so it’s perfect as a quick morning ride or a breezy afternoon outing, and the route is almost entirely flat (you’ll barely notice the gentle 13-meter descent).

You’ll mostly be cruising along quiet paths and side roads, with a smooth surface under your wheels for nearly the whole way—lots of asphalt, plus a dab of paving stones to keep things interesting. The roads are usually calm, making this a stress-free ride, even for less experienced cyclists.

Poing is known for its wildlife park and family-friendly vibe. Kirchheim bei München is a welcoming, growing suburb with plenty of green space, and recently hosted parts of the Bavarian State Garden Show. Bring a snack and maybe plan a stroll through Kirchheim’s new parks before heading back!
