3 days bikepacking through Germany’s Osnabrück region

Would you like to spend three uncomplicated days on the road with your bike, alternating between mountains and flat stages? Then this sporty bikepacking Tour is just the right thing for you. You and your bike will travel through almost the entire Osnabrück region.

At first glance, Osnabrück may seem rather unspectacular. But if you take a closer look, you realise how varied and exciting our region is. In addition to great landscapes, characterised by meadows and fields in the north and the foothills of the Teutoburg Forest in the south, the lovable city of Osnabrück awaits – the only large city in Germany that is located in the middle of a nature park, the UNESCO Global Geopark TERRA.vita.

Your 250-kilometre (155 mi) adventure starts at Osnabrück station. From here, you mostly follow paved roads, covering a daily average distance of 80 kilometres (49.7 mi). In addition, you have around 1,300 metres (4,265 ft) of climbing to tackle – especially crossing the Teutoburg Forest.

These three stage suggestions are ideal for a long weekend. We’ve designed them so that you can find a nice place to pitch your tent on a farm or at a campsite by a secluded lake, so you can relax in the evening. However, it's best to check that there’s space for you before you arrive. As the route passes through small towns and villages, you can easily stock up on food and drink en route. You don't need much more than your bike, a tent and a desire for a little adventure.

How you end your bikepacking Tour is entirely up to you. If you have time, stay in Osnabrück and take a stroll through the old town and discover this beautiful, peaceful city.
