Verl–Bielefeld Cycle Route

Easy, point‑to‑point ride from Verl to Bielefeld through North Rhine‑Westphalia. It’s roughly 23 km with gentle rolling elevation (about 140 m up, 130 m down), so it’s friendly for most riders.

The route mixes quiet country roads and bike paths with a few short gravel and paving‑stone stretches. Most of it is paved and calm, with only brief busy road sections. A trekking/hybrid bike is perfect; road bikes are fine if you’re okay with a couple of rougher patches.

Expect open fields and village lanes out of Verl, then smoother urban cycleways as you approach Bielefeld. At the finish, detour to Sparrenburg Castle for views or grab a coffee in the Altstadt.

Tip: watch for a few road crossings and be mindful after rain on the gravel bits. Works great both as a relaxed weekend spin or a low‑stress commute between the two towns.
