Quick ride by bicycle from Werne to Hamm

This relaxed cycling route takes you from the charming town of Werne to Hamm, a lively city in North Rhine-Westphalia. It’s about 15.5 km long—perfect for a leisurely ride that won’t leave you gasping for air. The terrain is mostly flat, with hardly any climbs or descents, so it’s super beginner-friendly.

You’ll be rolling along a mix of surfaces: about half the route is gravel or unpaved, which adds a bit of variety and that “off-the-beaten-path” feel. Paths and tracks make up most of your journey, keeping you away from busy car traffic and letting you really soak in the countryside.

Starting in Werne, you might want to check out its pretty half-timbered houses and the peaceful Lippe River. As you approach Hamm, keep an eye out for the city’s famous glass elephant—a quirky symbol in their Maximilianpark. All in all, this route is a lovely way to connect two historic towns while enjoying some scenic, quiet rural riding.
