Quick ride by bicycle from Siegen to Kreuztal

This cycling route takes you from the vibrant university city of Siegen to the smaller town of Kreuztal, covering just over 15 km through the rolling hills of North Rhine-Westphalia. You’ll start off in Siegen—which is known for its medieval castle and energetic student vibe—before heading north along mostly quiet roads and paved paths. There’s a steady ascent early on, so get ready for a bit of a workout as you climb up towards 332 meters elevation, but once you’ve hit the top, you’re rewarded with a easier, gently rolling ride into Kreuztal.

The route itself is pretty relaxed in terms of traffic: around 70% is on peaceful roads and a good stretch on scenic paths. Surfaces are mostly smooth pavement or asphalt, though keep an eye out for a few segments with paving stones and the occasional unpaved patch.

Your ride ends in Kreuztal, a town surrounded by forests and perfect if you fancy exploring a bit more or grabbing a quiet coffee. All in all, it’s a great way to experience a slice of Siegerland countryside by bike!
