Giro veloce in bici da Wesseling a Deutz

This scenic 17 km ride takes you from Wesseling, a riverside town just south of Cologne, to the lively Deutz district on the east bank of the Rhine. Wesseling is known for its riverfront parks and industrial roots, making it a neat starting point for anyone who enjoys waterside vibes.

The route is mostly paved and smooth—about 97%—with a nice mix of asphalt and some stretches of paving stones, perfect for cruising on most bikes. You'll wind along quiet paths and the occasional calm road, with very little interaction with busy traffic.
There’s only around 82 meters of ascent and descent, so expect gentle ups and downs—nothing too challenging.

Deutz welcomes you at the finish, famous for the Kölnmesse exhibition center and stunning views of Cologne’s cathedral across the river. It’s a great spot to hop off, grab a coffee, and soak up the city’s atmosphere.

All in all, it’s an easy-going ride with riverside scenery—ideal for a leisurely afternoon spin or a relaxed commute into the heart of Cologne.
