Paseo rápido en bici de Gelsenkirchen a Herne

This mellow ride connects the heart of Gelsenkirchen with the city of Herne, taking you on a mostly paved route of around 14 km. Gelsenkirchen, famous for its football culture and industrial history, makes a lively starting point. You’ll roll out along quiet roads and well-kept paths, enjoying mostly asphalt surfaces and very little traffic, perfect for a relaxed cruise. The gentle ascent (just about 81 meters in total) adds just enough variety without being tough—ideal if you want to enjoy the scenery instead of breaking a sweat.

As you close in on Herne, a city with roots in coal mining and a surprisingly charming town center, you’ll notice a little more greenery and open space. This route is great for everyday riders or anyone looking for a peaceful point-to-point spin in the northern Ruhr. Plenty of the way is on quiet backroads and bikeways, so you won’t be dodging cars all afternoon. Just bring some snacks and enjoy the leisurely vibe!
