By bicycle from Düsseldorf to Kaarst

Düsseldorf to Kaarst Cycling Route

Ready for an easygoing ride out of the city? Starting in downtown Düsseldorf, this route takes you west towards Kaarst for a fun 17 km escape. Düsseldorf is famous for its art scene, riverside promenades, and Altbier, so maybe fuel up with a coffee before you head out.

Most of the way, you’ll be on smooth paths (lots of asphalt and paving stones), winding through quiet neighborhoods and some scenic parks. There are just a few gentle ups and downs—nothing too serious—so it’s great if you’re looking for a relaxed outing. Beyond the Rhine, things get even calmer, trading city buzz for open fields and quiet paths.

Soon you’ll roll into Kaarst, a small town known for its green spaces and chilled-out vibe—not to mention great spots for a snack or a well-deserved cake. If you’re craving more, Kaarst is right on the edge of the Lower Rhine region, a paradise for more cycling adventures.

In short, it’s a flat, mostly paved ride—perfect for all levels. Just enjoy the scenery and maybe bring a friend for the company!
