Gita in bici di un giorno da Wittenburg a Lipsia

Ready for a long-distance ride? This route takes you from the historic town of Wittenburg, nestled near the Elbe River, all the way down to the vibrant city of Leipzig. Covering just under 114 km, it’s an adventure best suited for a full day in the saddle or a leisurely overnighter.

Most of the journey rolls along well-paved surfaces, with the majority on asphalt and very little rough stuff—perfect for touring or even road bikes. You'll have a gentle ascent and descent (nothing too dramatic), so it's manageable even if you're not chasing hills. About a third of the way is dedicated cycleways, and much of the rest is on quiet roads and connecting bike paths, so you’ll enjoy peaceful pedaling through the countryside.

Starting in Wittenburg, a charming Saxon-Anhalt town, you’ll weave through open landscapes and small villages. The route winds southward and eventually drops you into Leipzig, famous for its lively cultural scene, music heritage (think Bach), and pedestrian-friendly city center. Pack snacks, prep your playlist, and soak it all in!
