Giro veloce in bici da Bad Vilbel a Steinbach am Taunus

This relaxed 16.7 km ride takes you from Bad Vilbel, a charming spa town just northeast of Frankfurt known for its mineral springs, to the cozy community of Steinbach am Taunus on the edge of the hilly Taunus region.

You’ll start out cycling mostly on quiet roads and well-paved surfaces—perfect for soaking up scenic countryside views without much traffic. The route features gentle climbs, with a total ascent just under 180m (don’t worry, the hills aren’t too tough!), and you’ll enjoy some nice rolling descents as you approach Steinbach. Most of the path is smooth asphalt, but you’ll also encounter a few short stretches on gravel and tracks—nothing your average city or trekking bike can’t handle.

Steinbach greets you at the finish, a small town with a village feel, old half-timbered houses, and easy connections if you’d like to explore further into the Taunus hills. Whether you’re after a leisurely ride out of the city or a scenic commuter route, this ride is a peaceful, low-traffic choice through some of the greenest edges of Frankfurt’s surroundings.
