Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Fridingen an der Donau do Sigmaringen

This cycling route takes you from the charming little town of Fridingen an der Donau to the historic city of Sigmaringen, winding for just over 44 kilometers through the picturesque landscapes of the Upper Danube Valley. You’ll roll through a mix of quiet roads, peaceful tracks, and some stretches on well-kept gravel – the perfect backdrop for enjoying the lush forests and dramatic limestone cliffs the Donaubergland is famous for.

Along the way, expect a satisfying amount of ups and downs (over 600 meters of climbing!), but the views are well worth the effort. Fridingen itself is known for its cozy riverfront and proximity to stunning rock formations, while Sigmaringen greets you with its iconic fairytale castle perched above the Danube—a highlight for history buffs and castle enthusiasts alike.

About 59% of your ride is on paved surfaces, so a sturdy hybrid or gravel bike is ideal, especially since there are also sections of gravel and unpaved tracks. All in all, it’s a scenic journey through Swabian nature, with plenty of rewarding spots for a pause or picnic along the river.
