Sortie rapide à vélo de Duisbourg à Oberhausen

Ready for a relaxed ride between two classic Ruhr area cities? This 15 km cycling route takes you from Duisburg to Oberhausen, mostly along quiet roads and peaceful paths—ideal for a laid-back day out. Duisburg, a city famous for its huge inland harbor (the world’s largest!) and vibrant industrial culture, is your starting point. You'll pedal through green pockets and hidden corners, with only gentle climbs (just over 45 meters ascent) so nothing too strenuous.

Around half of your journey rolls out over smooth, paved and asphalt surfaces, but you’ll also find some stretches of paving stones and gravel—perfect for hybrid or touring bikes but still manageable for most riders. You'll mostly avoid traffic, thanks to quiet roads, paths, and a hint of cycleways, making this a stress-free route for cyclists of all experience levels.

Arriving in Oberhausen, don’t miss the impressive Gasometer—a massive former gas storage tank turned landmark and exhibition space. Both cities have strong industrial roots, but their green parks and friendly local vibes leave a lasting impression. Enjoy the ride!
