À vélo de Bönen à Hamm

Looking for a scenic and chill ride through North Rhine-Westphalia? Start in Bönen, a small town with a laid-back vibe and its classic mining tower, and head north towards Hamm. The route is about 15 km, so it’s perfect if you want a pleasant ride without pushing your limits.

Most of the ride takes you along quiet paved paths and country roads—great for easy cruising. There’s a little bit of gravel here and there, so a hybrid or gravel bike is handy, but it’s nothing too rough. You’ll wind through some gentle farmland and pass small villages—keep an eye out for those half-timbered houses!
