Quick ride by bicycle from Greven to Emsdetten

Here’s a pleasant cycling route taking you from Greven to Emsdetten—two charming towns in North Rhine-Westphalia. This ride is just under 15 kilometers, so it’s perfect for a relaxed outing or a breezy commute.

You’ll start in Greven, a town known for its proximity to the Ems river and its old-world charm. The route itself is mostly flat, with only minor elevation changes, making it ideal for all fitness levels.
