In bici da Erfurt a Mönchenholzhausen

Ready to roll out from the historic heart of Erfurt? This ride takes you roughly 11.4 km southeast to the peaceful village of Mönchenholzhausen—a route that’s short but with a bit of a climb (about 119 meters up, but not too daunting!). You'll start among Erfurt’s medieval spires and charming half-timbered houses, passing by traces of the city’s 1,270-year-old history.

Your ride will mainly be on smooth paved surfaces, switching between cycle paths, leafy tracks, and quiet roads, with just a touch of loose gravel to keep things interesting. As you leave the city behind, the scenery opens up into Thuringian farmland—big sky, gentle hills, and plenty of fresh air.

Mönchenholzhausen awaits with its peaceful streets and classic village charm. It’s the perfect spot for a breather before you head back or explore further. Don’t forget to take in the views near the highest point—on clear days you’ll catch a beautiful sweep of the Erfurt skyline behind you!
