By bicycle from Nettetal to Brüggen

This leisurely ride takes you from charming Nettetal, nestled among the lakes and woodlands of the Lower Rhine region, down to the handsome market town of Brüggen. The route is about 15.5 km long, mostly flat (you’ll barely climb 34 meters), and is perfect for a relaxed spin—ideal if you’re looking to soak up some fresh air and countryside vibes.

You’ll mostly cruise along peaceful cyclepaths and quiet roads, rolling by lush fields, small forests, and maybe even spotting some swans on the lakes around Nettetal. With over 90% of the route paved and hardly any traffic to deal with, it’s a comfortable journey for both experienced cyclists and casual riders.

Arriving in Brüggen is a treat: the town boasts a beautiful medieval watermill and the striking Brüggen Castle. Grab a coffee in the historic center before heading back or exploring more of this scenic pocket of Germany. Enjoy the ride!
