Sortie rapide à vélo de Deutz à Wesseling

Get ready for a super chill ride from Deutz down to Wesseling—an easy 16 km journey along the Rhine’s left bank! You’ll start out in Deutz, a lively Cologne district famous for its riverside parks, the Lanxess Arena, and gorgeous skyline views of the Dom across the water.

The route south is almost entirely paved and mostly uses tranquil paths, so there’s barely any car traffic. You’ll roll past cozy neighborhoods, occasional industry, and leafy riverside stretches, all with only a little gentle up and down—so nothing too strenuous here. There’s a bit of everything under your tires: mostly smooth asphalt, but expect some cobbles and concrete patches to add character.

As you approach Wesseling, you’ll find yourself in a quieter Rhine-side town with a long history of chemical industries, green parks, and laid-back vibes. Not a tourist hotspot, but perfect for a riverside coffee before hopping on the S-Bahn back to Cologne if you don’t want to cycle both ways!
