By bicycle from Duisburg to Mülheim

Duisburg to Mülheim an der Ruhr – Short and Sweet Ride

Kick off your ride in Duisburg, a city famous for having the world’s largest inland port and a lively industrial history. From here, the route takes you on a relaxed, mostly flat journey towards Mülheim an der Ruhr—think of it as a casual spin rather than a full-blown workout!

You’ll cover just under 12 kilometers, rolling over mainly smooth, paved paths (with a good measure of asphalt and some paving stones mixed in). The ride is gentle on the legs with a mellow ascent of about 67 meters—really, more of a rolling ripple than a climb.

The route is cyclist-friendly, sticking mostly to quiet roads, dedicated cycleways, and calm paths, so you can enjoy the scenery without much traffic stress. When you reach Mülheim, you’ll find a green and artsy city on the banks of the Ruhr, known for its lovely parks and vibrant culture.

Perfect for a quick city-to-city, riverside adventure—whether you’re commuting, exploring, or just chasing a café in Mülheim!
