You'll pedal through a delightful mix of serene paths and quaint quiet roads, with most of your journey gliding along smooth asphalt that makes cycling a breeze.

As you cover the 22.7 km jaunt, you'll ascend gently up to 106 meters at the peak—barely enough to notice while you enjoy the surrounding landscapes. The route is mostly gentle on the legs with only subtle ups and downs, perfect for a chilled ride.

You'll roll into Gladbeck, a town snuggled into the North Rhine-Westphalia area. Don't miss a stop at Schloss Wittringen, a beautiful moated castle, or take a stroll through the serene Wittringen Forest. Enjoy the ride and the charming blend of tranquility and local life! 🚴‍♂️🌳
