Giro veloce in bici da Oberhausen a Gladbeck

This bike ride takes you from Oberhausen to Gladbeck, a relaxed spin of about 19 km through the green Ruhrgebiet. Starting in Oberhausen—famous for its impressive Gasometer and vibrant shopping malls—you’ll quickly leave the urban buzz behind, dipping into quieter neighborhoods and plenty of tree-lined paths. Most of the way, you’ll coast along paved roads and peaceful bike paths, though don’t be surprised by a stretch or two of gravel or paving stones—adds a bit of variety!

You’ll pass through parks and pockets of countryside that make for some perfect photo stops or a quick snack. The gentle hills along the way (around 80 meters up and 70 down) are just enough to keep things interesting without needing a rest break at every climb. Arriving in Gladbeck, you’ll find a compact town center with a cozy feel, old churches, and classic Ruhr industrial history. Whether it’s café-hopping or just stretching your legs, Gladbeck is a nice spot to unwind after your ride.
