Quick ride by bicycle from Wesseling to Neustadt/Süd

This route takes you from the riverside town of Wesseling all the way into the vibrant heart of Cologne’s Neustadt/Süd district. Setting off from Wesseling, known for its green Rhine park and cozy suburban feel, you’ll enjoy a practically flat and super-smooth ride—seriously, with almost all of the 15 km on paved and asphalt surfaces, it’s easy on the tires and legs.

You’ll mostly roll along dedicated paths and quiet roads, breezing through leafy suburbs and gradually merging into the lively Cologne cityscape. There’s hardly any major ascent (less than 50 meters total, barely noticeable), so this is an ideal route for a chill cruise or a speedy commute.

Neustadt/Süd, your destination, is one of Cologne’s coolest quarters—think trendy cafés, international restaurants, and a bustling nightlife scene. It’s also home to the famous Zülpicher Straße, a hotspot for students and night owls alike. So, whether you’re headed for a day out or a night on the town, this ride is a perfect link from calm suburb to city buzz. Happy cycling!
