Quick ride by bicycle from Alfter to Bornheim

A relaxed hop from Alfter to Bornheim, roughly 5.8 km and almost entirely on smooth asphalt. You’ll roll out on quiet local roads and field paths, with just a brief bit of rougher track. The route is essentially flat with a gentle net descent toward Bornheim—easy cruising without any real climbs.

Alfter sits just west of Bonn on the edge of the Kottenforst and is home to the Alanus University of Arts and Social Sciences. Bornheim, tucked between Bonn and Cologne, is famous for its fruit and asparagus farms—keep an eye out for seasonal farm stands—and it’s where the Roisdorf mineral water comes from.

Traffic is generally calm, though you may meet the odd tractor on the farm lanes. Perfect for an after‑work spin or a family-friendly outing. If you’re riding in season, reward yourself at a Hofladen in Bornheim with fresh strawberries or a cool Roisdorfer.
