À vélo de Schwerte à Dortmund

Ready for a scenic ride from Schwerte to Dortmund? This gentle 18 km route is perfect for a relaxed day out, with mostly quiet roads and a good mix of countryside paths. You’ll start in Schwerte, a charming small town on the Ruhr River known for its medieval Old Town and picturesque timber-framed houses. The ride has some gentle climbs and descents, but nothing too demanding—expect beautiful stretches of paved and asphalt surfaces as you make your way northwest.

Along the way, enjoy rolling fields, forested sections, and little traffic. A shade over two-thirds of the route is well-paved, while a few gravel and unpaved patches add a bit of adventure but shouldn’t be a problem for most bikes.

You’ll finish in Dortmund, a vibrant city famous for its industrial heritage, buzzing city center, and of course, passionate football culture. Whether you’re exploring Schwerte’s quiet charm or Dortmund’s lively streets, this ride blends a touch of history, urban energy, and plenty of fresh air. Just bring a snack and a sense of adventure!
