En bici de Deutz a Leverkusen

Ready for a relaxed ride? This route takes you from Deutz—a lively district on the “right” side of the Rhine in Cologne—all the way north to Leverkusen, famous for its football club and the Bayer chemical company.

You’ll roll mostly along paved paths (over 80% paved, with a nice blend of smooth asphalt and some old-school paving stones), so it’s city bike and road bike friendly. The route sticks to quieter roads and paths, letting you enjoy the riverside vibes without the stress of major traffic. As for hills—don’t sweat it—there’s barely 30 meters of climbing, so it’s great if you’re looking for a chill spin.

Along the way, watch the city gradually give way to greener, more industrial landscapes as you approach Leverkusen. If you fancy a break, peek at the Rhine or grab a coffee at one of the stops dotting the route. And when you finish, Leverkusen’s parks are perfect for a post-ride picnic!
