By bicycle from Hilden to Düsseldorf

Ready for a smooth ride? This easy cycling route takes you from Hilden, a charming town just southeast of Düsseldorf, right into the heart of Düsseldorf itself. Covering about 18 km, the route is mostly flat with just a little up and down—perfect for all experience levels. You’ll cruise along quiet roads and bike paths (over half the route!), so you’ll be away from heavy traffic most of the time.

Hilden is known for its cozy Old Town and green parks, and soon you’ll be heading northwest, watching the scenery shift from suburban to city vibes. Most of the way is paved, including some classic German paving stones—so maybe leave the skinnest tires at home for this one. The ride ends in Düsseldorf, famous for its vibrant Altstadt, riverfront, shopping, and art scene—a great spot to park your bike and grab a coffee or some legendary Altbier.

Total ride time? Just about an hour at a relaxed pace. Enjoy the fresh air and have fun exploring two great spots in North Rhine-Westphalia!
