Paseo rápido en bici de Frechen a Mengenich

A mellow, almost pancake-flat spin from Frechen to Köln‑Mengenich. Roll out of Frechen—part of the Rhein‑Erft district and historically known for its stoneware—then angle north‑east on paved neighborhood paths. You’ll stitch together green corridors and quiet streets skirting the outer edge of Cologne, with long stretches of smooth asphalt and hardly any climbing. It’s an easy, family‑friendly 12.5 km that feels more like a glide than a grind, with a gentle net drop as you approach the city.

Aim to pick up sections of the Outer Green Belt as you near Müngersdorf/Bocklemünd, then track north toward Mengenich. Traffic stays light for most of the way, and the surfaces are consistently good, so you can just keep a steady cadence and enjoy the greenery.

Finish in Mengenich, a calm residential quarter on Cologne’s north‑west fringe, paired administratively with Bocklemünd in the Ehrenfeld borough—handy for hopping into the city, but with plenty of open space to catch your breath.
