By bicycle from Brühl to Bornheim

This 13 km ride takes you from Brühl, a charming town best known for its UNESCO-listed Augustusburg and Falkenlust palaces, all the way to Bornheim, nestled on the edge of the Rhineland and famous for its abundant strawberry fields in the summer. The route is super chill, with barely any hills—just enough for a bit of variety but never enough to get sweaty about! You’ll spend most of the journey on peaceful paths (about two-thirds of the way), with short stretches on quiet roads and tracks, so it’s perfect for a relaxed spin or even a weekday commute.

Almost the entire way is smoothly paved or asphalt, so you don’t need a fancy bike—any two-wheeler will do. Keep an eye out for orchards and fields as you approach Bornheim, and if you’re lucky to ride in late spring or early summer, grab some strawberries from a roadside stand. This is an easy, scenic route that’s great for a leisurely pace—ideal for unwinding after a busy week.
