By bicycle from Dormagen to Düsseldorf

Cycling from Dormagen to Düsseldorf

Ready for a ride that’s both relaxing and scenic? Kick things off in Dormagen, a charming town on the Rhine, known for its historic Zons fortress and cozy Altstadt. As you roll out, you’ll cruise along mostly flat paths—just under 30 meters of gentle ascent—so it'll be easygoing and suitable for any fitness level.

The route transitions through peaceful paths (over 60%!), and much of it is either paved or smooth asphalt beneath your wheels. About a quarter of the way, you’ll experience some nice, quiet roads lined with trees, with short stretches of paving stones (keep an eye out for a bumpier ride here) and a few concrete patches to mix things up. No need to worry about tough terrain—there’s no unpaved or gravel here.

You’ll finish your ride in the vibrant city of Düsseldorf, famed for its beautiful riverside promenade, artsy MedienHafen, and mouthwatering Altbier breweries. With just over 18 kilometers to cover, this is a great mini-adventure for a sunny afternoon!
