Most of the way, you’ll be gliding along well-paved paths and quiet roads, weaving through a good blend of city rhythm and leafy sections.

Nearly two-thirds of the ride keeps you on separate bike paths, making it ideal for those who want to enjoy the trip without dodging traffic.

Bilderstöckchen at your finish isn’t flashy, but what it lacks in tourist attractions, it makes up for with authentic, local vibes—think cozy cafés and an easy-going pace. All in all, this route is a nice slice through Cologne, perfect for winding down after a busy day or exploring the city away from the crowds.
