The Paderborner Land inspires cyclists with a unique combination of diverse landscapes, excellent infrastructure, and exciting contrasts. Between the gentle hills of the Eggegebirge, wide open plains, and idyllic river valleys, both leisure cyclists and ambitious athletes will find ideal conditions. Historic towns, picturesque half-timbered villages, and impressive landmarks—most notably Germany’s shortest river source located right in the heart of Paderborn’s city center—are often just a few pedal strokes apart. A dense network of exceptionally well-signposted cycle paths makes the region particularly attractive. The Paderborner Land Route, a certified quality cycling route, connects the highlights of this appealing holiday region in the Teutoburg Forest over a distance of 250 km. Awarded three stars by the ADFC, the route celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Routes such as the EmsRadweg, the Alme-Radweg, and sections of the Römer-Lippe-Route connect the Paderborner Land with neighboring regions. For sport-oriented cyclists, the Paderborner Land also offers plenty to discover: challenging climbs in the Eggegebirge, fast stretches through open landscapes, and quiet back roads away from traffic ensure variety and excellent training opportunities. Gravel riders, road cyclists, and touring cyclists alike will find ideal terrain here. The offer is rounded off by bike-friendly accommodations, modern service facilities, and a high quality of life. Anyone looking to combine cycling with nature, history, and innovative technology will discover in the Paderborner Land a region that truly gets you moving—in every sense of the word.
