Quick ride by bicycle from Meerbusch to Krefeld

This ride from Meerbusch to Krefeld is a breeze—just a bit over 15 km, mostly on smooth surfaces and quiet paths. Meerbusch is this leafy town right outside Düsseldorf, popular with commuters and known for its relaxed vibe and historic villas. Head north, and you’ll find yourself enjoying stretches through scenic countryside, alternating between dedicated cycle paths and peaceful roads where you’ll barely see a car.

The route is pretty much flat, with less than 20 meters of climbing and descending, so it’s great if you’re looking for an easy spin. Most of the route is paved or asphalt, with a few spots where the surface changes up but nothing you’d need a mountain bike for.

You’ll roll into Krefeld—aka the “Velvet and Silk City”—a place with cool industrial history and lots of green parks. The city center is lively, perfect for a well-earned coffee or pastry at the end of your ride!
