Cycling day trip from Bottrop to Mülheim

Start your cycling adventure in the vibrant city of Bottrop, known for its industrial history and the iconic Tetrahedron structure, a giant walkable steel pyramid offering panoramic views. Your ride to Mülheim is just a breeze, covering around 20.7 kilometers of scenic routes that gently roll through the beautiful Ruhr region.

As you pedal away, you'll enjoy over 78% of your journey on smooth asphalt, making it a pretty comfy ride. You'll also hit some charming gravel and paving stone pathways that add a bit of character to your route. Keep an eye out for the peaceful cycleways and quiet roads, which make up the majority of your ride, perfect for soaking in the serene landscapes.

You'll have a bit of an ascent and descent—about 104 meters up and 119 meters down—so be ready for a small leg workout. But the max elevation barely kisses 88 meters, so nothing too daunting ahead.

As you roll into Mülheim, make sure to explore its lovely parks and the stately Broich Castle. It’s a fantastic spot to wrap up your cycling journey, with plenty of cozy cafés to grab a quick snack or a refreshing drink. Enjoy the ride!
