ADAC Cycling Tour: Cycling experience through Magdeburg and the Börde region
On August 24, the ADAC Cycling Tour offers all amateur cyclists the opportunity to enjoy a unique road cycling experience. As part of the final day of the Lidl Deutschland Tour, the route leads on completely closed roads from Magdeburg through the Börde and back to the state capital of Saxony-Anhalt. #modernthinking
Two routes for every skill level
- Big Börde Loop - 122 kilometers
- Small Börde Loop - 52 kilometers
Both circuits start and finish in Magdeburg and offer both ambitious and recreational cyclists the right challenge.
Cycling on closed roads - a highlight for cycling fans
The starting shot is fired on Ernst-Reuter-Allee in the heart of Magdeburg. After a short roll-in phase, the race begins with an unusual passage over the Magdeburger Ring - an expressway that is normally inaccessible to cyclists. It then heads out into the Börde, where the two routes separate in Klein Rodensleben.
While the Kleine Börde Loop takes a direct route back to Magdeburg via Wanzleben, the Große Börde Loop continues through the slightly hilly terrain of the region. Via Seehausen, Eilsleben and Barneberg, participants reach the Hohes Holz forest area - the highest point of the route. Shortly afterwards, the route follows the same route as the professional race of the Lidl Deutschland Tour.
The last 35 kilometers are identical to the route of the pros and lead via Wanzleben, the Elbe bridges of Magdeburg and the Rotehornpark back to the city. Magdeburg Cathedral forms the impressive finale before the race ends on the banks of the River Schlein.
The ADAC Cycling Tour offers the unique opportunity to ride on closed roads and experience the atmosphere of a major cycling race up close. Participation is possible from as little as 85 euros, including numerous extras and a free jersey.
