Cycling day trip from Hürth to Poll

If you’re looking to pedal from Hürth to Poll, this 20 km route is mostly smooth sailing and a great choice for a casual ride or a steady commute. You’ll start in Hürth—a town just southwest of Cologne known for its mixture of green spaces and industrial flair (fun fact: Hürth is also home to several film studios!).

The journey keeps things relaxed with mostly paved surfaces and plenty of dedicated paths, so you’ll spend minimal time mingling with cars. You’ll gently climb just under 85 meters overall and actually descend even more, so expect the ride to feel pretty easy most of the way. The scenery shifts from the quieter outskirts of Hürth through peaceful stretches along paths near the Rhine, giving you a variety of surroundings without ever throwing you onto busy roads.

Poll, your destination, is a laid-back Cologne neighborhood hugging the Rhine, perfect for catching your breath or grabbing a riverside coffee after your ride. All in all, it’s a scenic, low-traffic route ideal for anyone who enjoys a breezy spin between city and suburb.
