By bicycle from Wuelfrath to Wuppertal

This scenic ride starts in the small town of Wülfrath, nestled in North Rhine-Westphalia and known for its charming limestone quarries and peaceful countryside vibes. From here, you’ll make your way to Wuppertal—famous for its unique, hanging monorail and leafy hillsides.

The route covers around 16 km, winding mostly along paved paths and quiet roads. Expect a fair bit of up and down, with just over 269 meters in both ascent and descent, making it a nice challenge without getting too intense. Almost all of the ride is on smooth asphalt, though you’ll hit small stretches of gravel and the odd patch of paving stones—nothing your average bike can’t handle.

Along the way, keep an eye out for lush forests and sweeping views as you cross the hilly Bergisches Land region. The finish in Wuppertal puts you right in a city that’s a blend of historic charm and cool, urban culture. Whether it’s a casual exploration or a training ride, this route offers a fun mix of nature and city.
