Bochum to Hattingen Cycling Route

This relaxed 16 km ride takes you from the heart of Bochum, an old mining and industrial hub which has reinvented itself as a lively cultural city, down south to the charming town of Hattingen along the Ruhr valley.

You’ll mostly cruise on smooth, paved surfaces, with a nice split between paths and quiet roads—perfect for soaking in the scenery. The route is friendly for most riders with just a few gentle climbs (about 125 m total ascent) and a similar descent, so nothing too taxing. Along the way, you’ll pass leafy areas and might spot hints of the region’s industrial heritage.

Reaching Hattingen, you’re treated to a picturesque old town with half-timbered houses and plenty of cozy cafés—an ideal spot to wind down. Whether you’re out for a peaceful solo ride or exploring with friends, this route balances city vibes with relaxed, green stretches and a touch of local history at both ends. Bring a camera for the old town and enjoy the ride!
