Herford District Cycling Network

Explore the Herford district by bike on a web of local routes linking towns like Bünde and the spa village of Bad Holzhausen. It’s mostly smooth asphalt with a few paving-stone sections and the odd cobble, plus some short farm tracks. You’ll ride mainly on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, with only brief bits on busier streets.

Terrain is gently rolling—easy through town and farmland, with a little more climbing as you approach the Wiehen Hills near Bad Holzhausen. Great for city bikes, tourers, and e-bikes; families will like the quieter stretches and solid surfaces.

Expect half-timbered streets, café stops, and green views across fields and stream valleys. Use the network for relaxed day rides or to connect villages and district centers without traffic stress. Distances between towns are short, so it’s easy to mix and match loops to fit your time and mood.
