Excursión ciclista de un día de Hamm a Lünen

Cycling Hamm to Lünen
If you’re up for a relaxed ride through Westphalia, the stretch from Hamm to Lünen is a real treat—about 27 km (roughly 17 miles) of mostly gentle countryside. You’ll set off from Hamm, known for its massive glass elephant (no joke – it’s a landmark!), and pedal south on mostly paved and gravel paths, with a decent chunk of asphalt under your wheels. The route keeps things chill with very little elevation, just enough up-and-down to keep it interesting but not exhausting.

You’ll pass through rural landscapes and quiet roads, cruising alongside fields and small villages—great for anyone who enjoys a mix of solid bike paths and the occasional rustic track. Most of the way, you’ll be avoiding busy streets, so it’s a nice choice for a peaceful spin.

Roll into Lünen on the banks of the Lippe River, a town with a cozy historic center and a great place to stop for coffee or a pastry before heading home or exploring further. In short: this is a scenic, comfortable ride perfect for a weekend micro-adventure!
