Quick ride by bicycle from Frechen to Neuehrenfeld

This ride takes you from Frechen, a lively town just west of Cologne known for its ceramics and historical churches, all the way to Neuehrenfeld—a cool, diverse neighborhood in Cologne with lots of cafes and green spaces.

You’ll roll mostly along quiet paths and residential lanes, so it’s a relaxed ride, perfect for cruising rather than racing. The elevation is gentle, with just a touch of climbing early on and a nice descent as you get closer to Cologne. The route is about 14 km and mostly paved, though you may hit some sections with paving stones or gravel—nothing a city bike can’t handle.

Frechen is great for a pre-ride pastry, while Neuehrenfeld is perfect to unwind at a local bakery or park. This is a sweet route if you want to experience suburb-to-city cycling with hardly any traffic. Enjoy the green corridors and keep an eye out for cool street art as you reach Neuehrenfeld!
