À vélo de Mönchengladbach à Erkelenz

Ready for a scenic ride through the Lower Rhine region? This relaxed 18.8 km cycling route takes you from lively Mönchengladbach to the cozy town of Erkelenz. You’ll start in Mönchengladbach, a city famous for its football club Borussia and green parks—great for a bit of pre-ride energy.

The route is mostly flat, with only gentle climbs (about 49 meters of ascent), and you’ll be rolling along a mix of paved and asphalt paths, with a few sections that get a little adventure-ready (look out for some “missing” surface bits—nothing a sturdy bike can’t handle!). Expect to enjoy mostly quiet roads and pleasant cycling paths, perfect for soaking up the countryside away from traffic.

As you approach Erkelenz, you’ll find a charming market square and plenty of spots to grab a snack or ice cream. All in all, it’s an easy-going ride—ideal for a weekend trip or a leisurely afternoon spin!
