By bicycle from Mülheim to Bergisch Gladbach

This ride takes you from Mülheim, a lively district on Cologne’s right bank of the Rhine, out to the charming town of Bergisch Gladbach—perfect for anyone looking to escape the city buzz and enjoy some suburban green. It’s a gentle 14.5 km trek, with just a bit of climbing (about 72 meters ascent), so you’ll break a mild sweat but nothing too crazy.

The route is mostly paved, rolling along quiet roads and relaxed paths—ideal if you like a peaceful ride without too much traffic to worry about. Watch for some sections with paving stones and the occasional stretch of gravel that’ll add a little variety to your journey.

Mülheim brims with history and vibes (don’t miss its cafes or the riverfront!), while Bergisch Gladbach greets you with classic small-town charm and plenty of spots to grab a treat before heading back. This is a great pick for a laid-back half-day adventure that blends both urban and green scenery.
