This ride takes you from Herne to Bochum, two neighboring cities in North Rhine-Westphalia that are right in the heart of the Ruhrgebiet. You’ll cover about 11.3 km—so it’s a comfortable ride, perfect for a leisurely afternoon or an energetic commute.

Starting in Herne (which, fun fact, is one of Germany’s smallest cities by area but not by population!), you’ll pedal along a mix of quiet roads and scenic paths, soaking up a good slice of local flair. Most of the route is paved, but you’ll encounter some gravel and paving stones too—nothing a standard city or trekking bike can’t handle.

As you move south, you'll climb a bit (about 135 meters up), but the gradients aren’t too tough—nothing that’ll leave you gasping. The final stretch brings you gently downhill as you roll into Bochum, a city famous for its mining history and the impressive Schauspielhaus theater.

It’s a route with local charm, a few gentle ups and downs, and a nice balance of city and green zones—perfect for cyclists looking to link two classic Ruhr area towns without any traffic stress.
