Excursión ciclista de un día de Wuppertal a Remscheid

Get ready for a solid ride from Wuppertal to Remscheid! You’ll set off in Wuppertal, famous for its unique suspended monorail (Schwebebahn) that glides above the Wupper river. As you leave the lively city behind, the route rolls mostly on quiet roads with a good sprinkle of paved and asphalt surfaces—perfect for a comfy cruise whether you’re on a road bike or hybrid.

The ride isn’t flat, though: you’ll rack up over 500 meters of climb, so be ready for a bit of a workout as you weave through green hills and pass forested patches. It’s a mostly traffic-calmed route, so you can relax and enjoy the views—especially as you descend toward Remscheid, sometimes called the “City on the Heights” thanks to its hilly setting. Remscheid has a strong industrial heritage and is known for its tool and hardware industry, so indulge in a coffee at the end and soak up the local vibe.

All told, the ride covers about 23 km—just right for an active morning or afternoon escape in the Bergisches Land region. Happy pedaling!
