Quick ride by bicycle from Oberhausen to Duisburg

This ride takes you from Oberhausen to Duisburg—two vibrant cities in the heart of the Ruhr region, both with rich industrial legacies and a growing focus on green spaces and culture. The route is just over 16 kilometers long, mostly flat, and mixes things up with a blend of paved, asphalt, and some gravel paths (so maybe avoid your skinny racing tires for this one).

You'll be cruising along mostly quiet roads and pleasant bike paths, making it a chilled trip great for chatting or simply enjoying the urban scenery. As you leave Oberhausen—a city known for its impressive Gasometer and huge shopping mall CentrO—you’ll pass through some leafy stretches and traces of the area’s mining past.

Arriving in Duisburg, you’ll find a city famous for its sprawling harbor (Europe’s largest inland port!) and cool spots like Landschaftspark, where old industrial structures meet creative public spaces. It's a fun urban ride with lots to see along the way. Don’t forget to stop for a coffee or a photo at the Ruhr’s quirky landmarks!
