WE ARE OLDENBURG! BICYCLE ROUTES IN OLDENBURG

The bicycle is a significant part of Oldenburg’s culture and everyday life and it’s the most used means of transportation for most people. Who doesn’t love a bike tour on a sunny weekend!

In Oldenburg, most streets are designed cyclist-friendly. There are signposted bicycle routes with a total length of around 800 km which vary in their respective lengths – some of them are quite short while others are significantly longer. Also, Oldenburg has a flat landscape with hardly any incline on the bike paths, so you can complete most routes easily without an e-bike.

On the website of the city of Oldenburg you will find eight routes through and around Oldenburg accompanied by detailed directions for each route. In this blogpost we will show you three bike routes around Oldenburg, which are suitable for families due to their length. On your bikes, set, go!

A DAY BY THE LAKE: DAY TRIP TO BAD ZWISCHENAHN

Total length: 35 km

The Bad Zwischenahner Meer (translated as “sea”, but it’s actually a huge lake) is probably the most popular day trip destination for Oldenburg cyclists. It is not only the beautiful route itself that makes this day trip amazing – you can also have a great time staying in Bad Zwischenahn for a few hours. Just take a some treats as well as hot tea or coffee in the HEET vacuum flask with you and have a relaxing Sunday on the shores of the Zwischenaher Meer! 

They say the journey is its own reward and for this cycling route it is particularly true. Halfway from Oldenburg you cycle past the popular Woldsee swimming lake. It is wonderfully green there, far away from the rushing city life. Enjoy!
