By bicycle from Mönchengladbach to Jüchen

This relaxed ride takes you from the vibrant city of Mönchengladbach—well known for its football club and historic abbey—down south to the more tranquil town of Jüchen. Covering almost 14 km, this route combines a good mix of paved paths (and a fair bit of smooth asphalt), making for a mostly comfortable trip with just a hint of adventure where the surface is less predictable.

It's not a hilly journey, so you won't need to worry too much about tough climbs. Expect a peaceful ride, as most of your way will be on cycling paths and quiet small roads, winding through the scenic Rhineland countryside. Mönchengladbach’s city vibe soon gives way to fields and villages as you head towards Jüchen, where you can check out the local castle or grab a bite at a cozy bakery.

Pack a patch kit just in case you hit a rougher spot and enjoy the mostly traffic-free route. Perfect for a short weekend outing or a gentle after-work ride!
