Bochum to Gelsenkirchen
Set out from the heart of Bochum and enjoy a pleasant 11.6 km ride to neighboring Gelsenkirchen. The path is a dream for those who love smooth cycling: you'll spend almost the entire journey on paved and asphalt routes, mostly following quiet paths away from busy traffic. While the ride is mostly flat, there's a gentle descent overall, making it even more relaxed.
Bochum is a city known for its industrial history and lively student life, thanks to Ruhr University. Pedal north through green spaces and residential areas, passing hints of the region’s mining legacy along the way. Gelsenkirchen welcomes you with its own industrial past—it’s famous for the Veltins-Arena, home stadium of Schalke 04.
This ride offers a genuine taste of the Ruhrgebiet: a blend of green corridors and urban scenery. It’s perfect for a leisurely morning cruise or a relaxed after-work outing!
