Cycling day trip from Remscheid to Dusseldorf

If you're looking for a bike ride that combines some delightful scenery with a touch of urban vibe, pedaling from Remscheid to Düsseldorf might just be your ticket! Kick off your journey in Remscheid, a gem in the Bergisches Land known for its rich industrial heritage and verdant landscapes. As you set off, expect a bit of a workout with some ascents totaling around 466 meters. But don't worry—the descent into Düsseldorf makes it all worthwhile!

The journey stretches just over 50 kilometers, which is perfect for a day trip. About half of the route is smooth asphalt, making for a nice, comfortable ride. However, stay alert as you'll also be navigating some paving stones and gravel paths. It's a nice mix that’ll keep things interesting without being too challenging.

Along the way, you'll travel mostly on quiet paths and roads, allowing you to enjoy the natural surroundings without battling heavy traffic. Once you arrive in Düsseldorf, reward yourself with exploring the city's chic shops, beautiful Rhine River promenades, and maybe even an altbier at one of the local breweries. All in all, it's a lovely route for those who enjoy both nature and a bit of city life at the other end!
