By bicycle from Hamm to Welver

This pleasant cycling route takes you from Hamm to Welver, winding south-east through the scenic fields of North Rhine-Westphalia. Starting in Hamm—a city known for its huge Maximilianpark and its quirky giant glass elephant—you’ll quickly leave urban bustle behind, riding mostly on quiet roads (over 60% of your route!) and peaceful paths perfect for easy pedaling.

The ride stretches about 17.4 kilometers, almost entirely on smooth pavement or asphalt. Rolling gently through farmland, you’ll tackle a manageable ascent of about 67 meters, making it friendly for most cyclists. With traffic mostly out of sight, you can look forward to tranquil countryside views and maybe spot a classic half-timbered farmhouse or two along the way.

You’ll finish in Welver, a charming rural village steeped in history, known for its welcoming vibe and pretty local churches. This is the kind of ride that’s great for a relaxed afternoon, whether you’re out for some exercise or just exploring the Westphalian countryside at your own pace!
