By bicycle from Heiligenhaus to Velbert

Ready for a relaxed ride? Start out in Heiligenhaus—this little town near Düsseldorf is known for its peaceful vibe and pretty green spaces—then cruise northeast toward Velbert. You’ll cover just over 6.4 km, mainly along quiet paths and side roads, perfect for a mellow, scenic pedal.

The route is mostly paved and smooth (think asphalt and paving stones). You’ll climb a gentle 89 meters, so expect a few rolling hills but nothing too wild. Along the way, you’ll pass through stretches of countryside and get a feel for the Bergisches Land landscape.

Your ride ends in Velbert, a town famous for its historic lock-making industry and the impressive Schloss Hardenberg. Whether you’re here for a coffee or just to check out the sights, it’s a sweet spot to wrap up your trip. Enjoy the ride!
