Excursión ciclista de un día de Hamm a Soest

This ride takes you from Hamm to the charming town of Soest, covering just under 32 km of mostly flat terrain—perfect for an easy-going day trip. Hamm, known for its huge Maximilianpark and impressive glass elephant, is your bustling starting point. Once you leave the city, you’ll roll through a mix of paved country paths and smooth asphalt, with a little splash of gravel here and there to keep things interesting. The landscape is mostly agricultural and open, peppered with wind turbines and dotted with little villages.

You’ll gain a gentle 65 meters in elevation (no serious hills here!), and branch off onto quiet roads and dedicated cycle paths for a stress-free ride. The last stretch leads you into Soest, famous for its medieval old town and centuries-old churches made of greenish sandstone. Treat yourself to a coffee at one of the many cafés on Soest’s market square—you’ve earned it! This is an ideal route for anyone looking to enjoy the Westphalian countryside without climbing any serious hills.
