Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Bielefeld à Verl

Here’s a fun ride from Bielefeld to Verl! You’ll roll out from Bielefeld, a lively city best known for its castle (Sparrenburg) and vibrant university town vibe. The route is about 23 km—great for a half-day adventure—winding mostly over paved and asphalt surfaces, so you’ll have a smooth spin for most of the way.

As you head south, you'll cruise by a mix of quiet roads, designated cycleways, and some charming village paths. The elevation is gentle, with a few hills for interest but nothing too demanding—just enough to earn your snack break. There’s more descent than ascent, meaning you’ll have a few breezy stretches as you near Verl.

Verl itself is a peaceful small town in North Rhine-Westphalia, perfect for a coffee or some pastry once you arrive. With minimal traffic and mostly scenic countryside views, this route is ideal for a chill weekend ride or a low-stress weekday escape. Don’t forget to check your bike lights and enjoy the beautiful German countryside!
