Quick ride by bicycle from Mülheim to Poll

This cycling route takes you from Mülheim, a vibrant district on the right bank of the Rhine in Cologne, down to Poll, a more laid-back neighborhood known for its riverside feel. You’ll be rolling along about 8.6 kilometers—just the right distance for a quick city adventure or commute.

You’ll mostly cruise on paved paths, with sections of paving stones and smooth asphalt, so a city or touring bike will do just fine. There’s almost no busy road, just quiet streets and dedicated paths, making it a relaxing ride away from heavy traffic.

Starting in Mülheim, you’ll pass through neighborhoods with a bit of urban edge and some riverside charm before eventually reaching Poll. Poll itself is great for a quick break by the Rhine—a nice reward after your ride. There isn’t much elevation—just enough to keep things interesting—so it’s accessible for all levels.

Perfect for anyone looking to explore a different side of Cologne without straying too far from the river or the heart of the city!
