Gita in bici di un giorno da Krefeld a Hochfeld

Ready for a relaxed pedal between Krefeld and Hochfeld? This roughly 20.5 km route is pretty flat, with hardly any climbs—just enough to keep things interesting without breaking a sweat. You’ll cruise along a mix of bike paths and quiet roads, skirting busy traffic for the most part. While just under half the way is paved or covered in smooth asphalt, keep an eye out for some unpaved stretches, so a hybrid or sturdy city bike is a good shout!

Krefeld, known as the “Velvet and Silk City,” charms with its leafy avenues and textile heritage, making for a pleasant send-off. On arrival in Hochfeld (part of Duisburg), you’ll find yourself in a lively, multi-cultural urban neighborhood close to the Rhine and the industrial heart of the Ruhr. All in all, this ride is ideal if you fancy a mellow outing with river views, a dash of industry, and plenty of local color along the way. Don’t forget a snack stop—or your camera!
