Discover countryside and the city by bike – routes around Oldenburg

Culture in the evening, nature during the day: between the city, the countryside and the river, you can experience an incomparable diversity on the “Route around Oldenburg”. Because it connects the most beautiful cityscapes of Oldenburg with the Ammerland, the Wesermarsch and the Wildeshauser Geest Nature Park in northwest Germany.

Whether a leisurely trip on a bike or a tour lasting several days – there is the right route for all wishes on the route around Oldenburg. The 110 kilometer long route around Oldenburg, which is well signposted in both directions, spans the city like a large wheel. Nine spokes lead from the center to the outer ring, which are between 10 and 15 kilometers long. Thanks to these connecting routes, you can also plan individual day tours.
On the three sub-routes you will discover the different types of landscape, always starting in Oldenburg's center. The 42 kilometer long route into the Ammerland park landscape leads through parks and forests, past flowering rhododendrons to the residential town of Rastede. On the way back you will see the typical Oldenburg dog houses.

We head north: the 42 kilometer long circular tour leads to the Wesermarsch. Here, centuries-old farmhouses with their white half-timbering and thatched roofs characterize the landscape. Particularly worth seeing: the 13 half-timbered villages of the medieval marshland settlement Moorriem. A break in the Melkhus is a must.

The partial route (39 kilometers) starts at the old city harbor and leads to the Wildeshauser Geest Nature Park. The fen landscape with flat paths, fields, meadows and large farms characterizes the diverse landscape. We return along the Hunte, the most beautiful and ecologically important section of the river, to Oldenburg city center.
