Gita in bici di un giorno da Erfurt a Gotha

This cycling route takes you from the lively city of Erfurt to the historic town of Gotha—two gems in Thuringia! Starting in Erfurt, known for its stunning medieval old town and the iconic Krämerbrücke, you'll roll out into the gently undulating countryside. Most of the 43 km ride keeps things stress-free, with a good mix of quiet roads and rural tracks making up the bulk of your journey. The path is predominantly paved, so you won’t need to worry much about rough patches—just a few sections with paving stones or concrete to keep things interesting.

You’ll enjoy gradual climbs (nothing too heart-pounding), and along the way, you’ll pass through classic Thuringian scenery—patchwork fields, small villages, and peaceful stretches of woodland.

Your destination, Gotha, is a city with a royal pedigree, home to the grand Friedenstein Castle—perfect for a post-ride stroll. All in all, this route is a relaxed way to connect two of Thuringia’s most charming towns, ideal for anyone who enjoys a scenic, moderately challenging day in the saddle!
