Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Remscheid à Wuppertal

Remscheid → Wuppertal Cycling Route

Get ready for a scenic ride from Remscheid to Wuppertal! Starting in Remscheid—a town known for its long industrial heritage and lush green parks—you’ll cover about 28 km heading north to Wuppertal, famous for its quirky suspended monorail and hilly landscapes. Along the way you’ll enjoy a mix of quiet roads and bike paths, with a solid majority of the route being paved or smooth asphalt (about 65%). Expect some gentle climbs at the start (total ascent roughly 380 meters), with a bigger descent as you approach Wuppertal, so the second half is more relaxing.

You’ll meander through bits of woods and open countryside, and pass through quiet segments as well as lovely little towns. There’s some gravel (about 19%), so a gravel or hybrid bike will feel right at home. Take your time—Wuppertal is well worth arriving at, with its cultural sights and leafy riverbanks. Perfect for a half-day adventure between two of the Bergisches Land’s coolest cities!
