By bicycle from Unna to Bergkamen

Here’s a relaxed cycling route from Unna to Bergkamen that’s perfect if you enjoy a bit of adventure away from busy roads! Start in Unna, a charming town known for its historical Old Town and public art installations, then head north into a landscape that’s 75% path and mostly away from heavy traffic.

You’ll ride just over 13 km, mostly on gravel and unpaved surfaces—great for wider tires and those who don’t mind a little dust. The route is mostly flat, with only a gentle climb of about 21 meters and a bit more descent, so it’s not too strenuous.

About halfway, you’ll pass through peaceful countryside, with plenty of opportunity to take in the lush scenery typical of North Rhine-Westphalia. Finish up in Bergkamen, famous for its Roman history and the former coal mining district, now home to beautiful parks and the Datteln-Hamm Canal. Perfect for a laid-back day out!
