Quick ride by bicycle from Remscheid to Wermelskirchen

Route: Remscheid to Wermelskirchen

This is a leisurely 15.5 km ride through the green heart of Bergisches Land, starting in Remscheid—an industrial town known for its long tradition in toolmaking and beautiful panoramic views. Expect a pleasant mix of peaceful bike paths (almost half your ride!) and quiet country roads, with barely any time spent on busier streets.

You’ll climb a modest 174 meters over the ride, but most of the route trends gently downward, making for a few nice coasting stretches. With over 90% of the way covered in smooth asphalt or paved surfaces, this is an easy-going cruise for most bikes.

Your ride wraps up in Wermelskirchen, a charming small town with classic half-timbered houses and a relaxed vibe. If you have time, pop into one of the local bakeries for a treat. This route is perfect for a relaxed morning or afternoon escape—not too tough, but with lovely views of the countryside in between.
