This scenic route takes you southeast for about 27.5 kilometers, mostly along paved paths with gentle ascents, making it a great choice for all fitness levels. You’ll cruise through easygoing cycleways and quiet roads, catching glimpses of the lush Lower Rhine countryside as you pedal.

Krefeld, nicknamed the “Velvet and Silk City” for its textile heritage, is known for its leafy boulevards and quirky modernist architecture. Leaving Krefeld, you’ll enjoy a smooth ride—over 85% of the route is paved, with just a touch of gravel sections for variety.
