Quick ride by bicycle from Leverkusen to Opladen

Here’s a relaxed ride taking you from Leverkusen to Opladen, about 6.3 km of mostly smooth pavement—perfect if you want an easygoing trip with a dash of local flavor. Leverkusen is well-known for its industrial heritage (Bayer, anyone?) and a surprisingly green riverside vibe, so you’ll set off surrounded by both city buzz and parkland calm.

The route takes you mostly along quiet roads (so you won’t have to dodge too many cars), with a bit of cycleway and some short stretches on paths. Most of the ride is on asphalt, which means your wheels will spin nicely (and you can spare your suspension). There’s just a little gentle uphill—less than 16 meters of ascent—just enough to get the blood flowing but nothing too challenging.

When you arrive in Opladen, you’ll find yourself in a historic district with its own lively center, lots of cafés, and a relaxed small-town vibe. Perfect for a post-ride coffee!
