By bicycle from Düsseldorf to Ratingen

This cycling route takes you from the vibrant city of Düsseldorf up to the charming town of Ratingen, covering about 13 km on mostly paved surfaces. Düsseldorf is famous for its modern art scene, riverside Altstadt, and of course, the annual Karneval. Rolling out from the city, you'll pass through a blend of tranquil paths and quieter roads, leaving the hustle behind as you skirt through green parks and friendly neighborhoods.

With a gentle ascent of around 46 meters, there’s nothing too steep—just enough to get your legs moving! Most of your ride will be on smooth asphalt and paving stones, and about half the route uses dedicated paths, so it feels safe and chill for a relaxed ride. Expect a mix of urban sights and leafy patches, perfect for a short escape from city life.

You'll arrive in Ratingen, a picturesque town with medieval roots, cobbled old town, and cozy cafés—just right for a post-ride treat! This route is ideal if you want a scenic, easy ride with a touch of local culture at both ends.
