Gita in bici di un giorno da Pforzheim a Karlsruhe

Get ready for a scenic ride from Pforzheim to Karlsruhe! Spanning just over 38 km, this route is perfect if you want a good mix of nature and city vibes. You’ll start in Pforzheim, known as the “Gateway to the Black Forest” and famous for its jewelry and watchmaking heritage. The first part takes you through rolling terrain, with a gentle climb (total ascent: about 336 meters)—great for warming up!

Most of the ride is on paved roads and paths (over 80% paved and asphalt), so it’s a smooth journey—just keep an eye out for occasional gravel stretches. The route winds through quiet roads and scenic tracks, away from busy city traffic. Expect to pass through small villages and lush countryside.

As you approach Karlsruhe, a vibrant university city known for its fan-shaped layout and the impressive Karlsruhe Palace, you’ll have a chance to soak in some culture at the finish line. With more descent than climb overall, this ride is both satisfying and a bit easier on the legs than you might expect. Enjoy the adventure!
