Quick ride by bicycle from Oberhausen to Hochfeld

This ride kicks off in Oberhausen, a city famous for its sprawling Centro shopping mall and the quirky Gasometer, a former gas storage tank turned cool exhibition space. You’ll pedal mostly on peaceful roads and bike-friendly paths, breezing through a mix of city edges and green corners of the Ruhrgebiet.

The route’s a mellow one—just over 16.5 km, with barely noticeable ups and downs, so it's great if you want a relaxed outing. Most of the way is paved or asphalt, but you’ll also encounter some stretches of gravel and paving stones, so don’t forget your puncture kit! There are hardly any busy roads, making this especially comfortable for less seasoned riders or anyone who prefers quieter spaces.

Your destination, Hochfeld, is part of Duisburg—a city known for its massive inner harbor (one of the world’s biggest!) and an industrial past that’s now embracing riverside parks and art spaces. Grab a coffee when you arrive and soak in the urban vibes before heading back or exploring more. Enjoy the ride!
