8 cycle tours from/to Bremen to choose from

Tour 1: Bremen city centre tour

City centre and surroundings | cycle tour approx. 17 km
This tour takes you off the beaten track through Bremen and offers you an authentic insight into the city. Bremen presents itself as an exciting city centre with interesting corners, characteristic features and a rich history. On our Bremen city centre tour, you will experience at first hand how the city has developed rapidly over the last 170 years

Tour 2: Bremen-Worpswede tour

City, country, art | cycle tour 62.4 km
This fascinating cycle tour offers a green and largely car-free route. Along canals, ditches and riverbanks such as the Wümme, Hamme, Beek and Wörpe, it leads through a flat meadow landscape with dykes, terps, dams, bridges and water areas, large areas of which are under nature conservation. Highlights of this tour are the wide meadows and water areas of the Hamme lowlands and the artists' village of Worpswede, where artists have lived and worked for over 100 years. The art and culture of past centuries are kept alive in museums, exhibition centres, galleries and buildings designed by artists. This encounter between art and village life, accompanied by coffee and cake, is both worth seeing and exciting.

Tour 3: Contrasts tour

Nature reserves and industrial harbours | Cycle tour 59 km
The tour takes you south, where you can experience urban life and an important part of industrial culture: the industrial harbours. A world of contrasts and gigantomania opens up here with raw materials, cargo ships, warehouses and lorries. Despite its industrial appearance, this area offers an exciting cycle tour and requires a little urban adventurousness. On the way back, the tour takes you through the green block country, which provides a fascinating contrast to the industry. Here you will experience a charming, natural environment that stands in stark contrast to the industrial landscape.

Tour 4: Blockland circuit

Cow, Knipp and cult | cycle tour 27 km
Welcome to our exciting tour through the Blockland, a local recreation area with real cult status, just a few minutes from the city centre. This area is ideal for exploring by bike. There are more cows than people in this agricultural region and the marshland is an important and protected habitat for rare animals and plants. For cyclists, inline skaters and walkers, the Blockland is one of the most fascinating excursion destinations in Bremen.

Tour 5: Fischerhude loop

Over hill, dale and ditch | Cycle tour 57 km
This tour takes you to the charming artists' village of Fischerhude, the highlight of this cycle tour from Bremen to the north-east. You cycle through meadows, forests, dune landscapes and over bridges on well-paved routes through the Wümmen lowlands and side roads in the district of Osterholz. From time to time you leave the asphalt and cycle on unpaved paths and trails in forest areas such as the Hexenberg Forest and the Suhrheide, ideal for gravel biking. Enjoy this tour through charming cultural landscapes.

Tour 6: Vegesack loop

Water trails | Cycle tour 54 km
This tour takes you through Bremen's historical struggle for access to sea-deep water. The city once lay at the head of the Weser estuary delta, which posed a challenge for centuries. The sluggish river tended to silt up, costing Bremen both nerves and a lot of money. To ensure vital access to the world's oceans, the city had to act time and again. This issue is still of great importance to the city-state today. During our tour, we will therefore take an in-depth look at Bremen's ports, hydraulic engineering structures and shipping. But the tour has even more to offer. It takes you along the dykes, follows the tracks of the peat barge canals and provides insights into rural settlements. There are no hills on this tour, and the only exception to the gradients is the height of the dykes.

Tour 7: Weser circuit

Schlachte, Werder, Übersee | cycle tour 29 km
Experience Bremen in all its diversity on this tour! Start at the stadium, followed by a ferry ride to the lido. A green dyke offers relaxation, and the harbor area combines art, coffee, work and living by the water. The connecting element: the Weser, which links Bremen with the North Sea and the world.

Extra tour: Weser-Runde Ost | Cycle tour 61 km

If you want to explore the hinterland and cover a little distance, you can cycle east along the Weser. Dikes and meadows, half-timbered houses and mills, expanses of water and the Westerstauwerk await you. The villages are small and tranquil with a few opportunities for a picnic along the way or a stop at a restaurant/beer garden.

The first part of the tour leads nicely over the Habenhauser dyke along the Kleine Weser. The asphalted path with a view over the water leads close to the river through the greenery. From Rieder Straße, it moves away from the Weser and you cycle along the roadside cycle path via Thedinghausen to Achim. (On shorter stretches without a separate cycle path).

If you want to see more of the Weser and cycle along the Aller for a while, you can do a short extra loop in Achim. First you cycle through the residential area via Verdener Str. to the district of Baden. From Verdener Str. turn right into Allerstraße, then left into Zum Blocksberg. A short distance further on, the Weser, the Langwedel lock canal and the Aller meet. From here you start the way back. The route follows the banks of the Weser back to Brückenstraße, which you cross at the Achim-Uesen marina. You return to Bremen via Bollen on good paths through predominantly natural areas. Here you pass some harbor facilities before the Weser stadium comes into view and you cycle along the Osterdeich back to the old town.
