Wittenberg occurs in the pedals

Cycling in Lutherstadt

Several biking paths, e.g. the Elberadweg, which will lead you along the beautiful river Elbe with rich cultural and historic sights along the way and a natural surrounding, cross directly on the historic market in the old city center with its town hall from 1523.

The Elbe Cycling path is among the most loved German Cycling Paths. Along the 860 km (570miles) path many bicycle friendly lodgings like the Luther Hotel invite you to stay.

Wittenberg’s vicinity will fascinate you with its beautiful landscapes, little towns and idyllic villages. How about riding your bike to the Garden Realm Dessau-Wörlitz? Just like the Lutherstadt Wittenberg the Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Realm, a man-made landscape of Europe-wide significance, is a UNESCO heritage site.

Cycling from Wittenberg to the heath of Düben - the greatest coherent mixed forest area is ideal for bike tours and hiking trips. The Goitzsche, a lake district, which emerged from the former open-cast mining area of the brown coal city Bitterfeld in 2002, is an excellent destination for hiking and cycling near Wittenberg, too. The Lutherstadt as well as its vicinity will fascinate you with their diversity in landscape, culture and history so that the city is an ideal starting and resting point for cycling tours.
