Stuttgart is beautiful or ‘schee’ as the Swabians affectionately say. Fantastic views and great vantage points in the vineyards are not in short supply here. The best thing? You can explore this picturesque, hilly landscape perfectly on your road bike.

In this Collection, I'll show you 14 low-traffic road bike routes that get you out of the Stuttgart basin and into nature. I always prefer to choose smaller roads with as many car-free or low-traffic sections as possible, even if the road surface is not perfect. If you’re only interested in smooth roads and are happy to put up with passing cars, then this Collection is not for you. You’ll be amazed at how many quiet, paved side roads, field tracks and bike paths there are here.

All Tours start and end at S-Bahn or U-Bahn stations of the Stuttgart VVS network. You can take your bike on the S-Bahn for the cost of an extra child ticket on weekdays from 6 to 9 am. You can take your bike on the Stadtbahn free of charge except for during rush hour from 6 to 8.30 am and 4 to 6.30 pm.

If you love particularly long racing bike adventures, you can simply combine two or three Tours. Many of the routes overlap and are easy to combine. So, get on your bike and get out of the so-called cauldron. As you gaze over the beautiful vineyards, don’t be surprised if you fall in love with the region like the Swabians.
