Quick ride by bicycle from Hagen to Herdecke

Enjoy a scenic 8 km ride from Hagen to Herdecke, two charming towns in North Rhine-Westphalia. Starting from Hagen, a city known for its green spaces and proximity to the Sauerland, you’ll pedal northwards mostly on paved paths and quiet roads, making for a relaxing journey.

The route’s gentle hills add a bit of variety, but nothing too demanding—perfect for casual riders or those looking to unwind. About three-quarters of the route is paved (with a good bit of smooth asphalt), though you’ll occasionally roll over paving stones that add a little old-town character.

As you approach Herdecke, famous for its cozy old town and beautiful location by the River Ruhr, take time to soak in the picturesque views. With hardly any busy roads on your way and most cycling done on paths and quiet streets, this route is a great blend of comfort and countryside feel. Great for a leisurely spin or as a scenic connector between two lovely cities!
