Quick ride by bicycle from Mülheim to Hochfeld

This ride takes you from the lively district of Mülheim, known for its historic industrial flair and riverside parks, down to Hochfeld—a diverse neighborhood in Duisburg with a strong working-class heritage. Covering just over 13 km, the route is mostly flat, so it’s great for an easy-paced cruise. You’ll be pedaling primarily on paved and asphalted surfaces, threading through lots of quiet roads and cycle paths, with only the odd short jump onto a busier stretch.

Expect a little urban scenery with patches of green along the Ruhr and the wider Ruhrgebiet. About two-thirds of your ride travels on less trafficked roads or dedicated paths, so it’s pretty relaxing. Hochfeld awaits at the end, right by the Rhine, and you might spot the impressive arches of the Hochfelder Eisenbahnbrücke nearby.

All in all, this is a straightforward, city-to-city pedal—perfect for a leisurely afternoon exploring the region’s industrial roots and river landscapes!
