Giro veloce in bici da Muttenz a Birsfelden

This is a super accessible ride starting in Muttenz, a friendly suburb just east of Basel known for its pretty old town and iconic St. Arbogast church tower—the second tallest in Switzerland! The route takes you north toward Birsfelden, mostly on quiet paved roads and a touch of cycleway, so it’s nice and relaxed with almost no busy traffic.

Along the way, you’ll enjoy gentle terrain with a small descent (so it’s nearly effortless!). The journey weaves close to the river Birs, offering pleasant, leafy views, and as you roll into Birsfelden, you’ll spot the famous hydroelectric Birsfelden Power Plant by the Rhine—a cool local landmark. The ride’s short (just about 5.6 km) and smooth, perfect if you’re after an easy commute, a low-key outing, or just exploring Basel’s laid-back suburbs at your own pace.
