Giro veloce in bici da Magdeburgo a Irxleben

Set off from Magdeburg, the vibrant capital of Saxony-Anhalt known for its majestic gothic cathedral and lively Elbe riverbanks, and pedal your way northwest toward the peaceful village of Irxleben. This route is about 16 km and is mostly smooth cycling, with over 90% of it on paved surfaces—perfect for a relaxed ride or commuting.

You’ll wind your way out of Magdeburg along a pleasant mix of bike paths and quiet roads. After soaking in some city energy, you’ll quickly find yourself surrounded by open fields and small villages. The route is gently rolling, with a bit of ascent (just enough to keep things interesting, but not too challenging).

As you approach Irxleben, look for traces of the region’s history—this little village dates back to the Middle Ages and offers a peaceful finish after the more urban start. In Irxleben, you can enjoy the tranquility of rural Saxony-Anhalt before heading back or exploring further. All in all, it’s a solid choice for anyone wanting a mix of city sights and countryside calm on two wheels.
