This pleasant cycling route takes you from Witten, a former coal mining town nestled along the Ruhr river, to the vibrant city of Bochum. Covering just over 20 kilometers, most of your journey rolls along smooth asphalt or paved paths, so you can expect a comfortable ride almost the whole way. There’s a gentle climb here and there (total ascent is just over 110 meters), but overall it's great for cyclists of most levels.

Almost half of your route meanders along peaceful paths and quiet roads, so you can really enjoy the greenery that dots the Ruhr area. Witten offers an interesting starting point, with its industrial heritage and beautiful parks like Stadtpark Witten. By the time you reach Bochum, you’ll find yourself in one of the Ruhr’s cultural hotspots, home to attractions like the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum and a lively student scene.

It’s a fantastic option for a chill ride between two character-packed Ruhr cities, with little traffic stress and plenty of Ruhrpott charm along the way.
