By bicycle from Meiderich to Dinslaken

This relaxed cycling route takes you from Meiderich, a lively district in Duisburg known for its industrial history and green spaces, up to Dinslaken, a charming town on the edge of the Ruhr area. Covering just under 19 km, it’s a great ride for those looking to escape the bustle, with mostly paved paths and a gentle ascent—so nothing too challenging!

You’ll cross a mix of quiet residential streets and smooth paths, with occasional stretches of gravel or paving stones to keep things interesting, but nothing a standard bike can’t handle. As you leave Meiderich’s urban feel behind, you’ll notice more open fields and pockets of woodland, making for a scenic pedal northwards.

Arriving in Dinslaken, you’ll find a town with a relaxed atmosphere, a historic water castle (Burg Dinslaken), and cozy cafes perfect for a post-ride treat. All in all, a mellow ride with a little Ruhrgebiet flavor and plenty of fresh air!
