Quick ride by bicycle from Hilden to Haan

Set out from the charming town of Hilden, known for its historic old town and plenty of leafy streets, and wind your way towards Haan—a small city perched on the western edge of the Bergisches Land. This roughly 10 km route has a bit of everything: you’ll pedal mostly on quiet roads and designated cycleways, with a few short stretches on gravel or unpaved paths to keep things interesting.

Be ready for a gentle workout! You’ll gain around 134 meters in elevation, so expect a few moderate climbs as you leave Hilden’s flat landscape and roll towards the higher ground of Haan. Much of the ride stays away from busy streets, letting you soak up local scenery, sections of woodland, and maybe even catch the scent of fresh pastries if you pass through the smaller residential neighborhoods.

Finishing in Haan, you’ll find yourself in a relaxed town that’s often called the “Garden City” for its green spaces, perfect for a post-ride break. All in all, it’s a great mix of urban edges and countryside breezes—ideal for a Sunday spin.
