Quick ride by bicycle from Solingen to Remscheid

Get ready for a scenic ride from Solingen to Remscheid! Starting in Solingen—famous for its blade-making tradition and picturesque old town—you’ll weave your way east across about 15 km of hilly terrain. Be prepared: you’ll climb nearly 400 meters in total, so it’s a rewarding workout with some good downhill stretches too.

The route takes you mostly along quiet roads and tracks, with just a tiny bit of busy traffic, so you can soak in the lush, green surroundings of the Bergisches Land region. Surfaces are a mix—mostly paved and asphalt, but expect some short gravel and unpaved sections, especially through forested areas. Make sure your bike’s up for light off-roading!

You’ll finish in Remscheid, a city with a proud industrial history and great views from the Müngstener Bridge—the highest railway bridge in Germany. Once you arrive, treat yourself to a café stop or explore the local museums. All in all, a rewarding route through classic Rhineland scenery!
