In bici da Holzwickede a Schwerte

This ride takes you from Holzwickede, a peaceful little town known for its charming parks and the nearby Opherdicke Manor, heading southwest toward the riverside city of Schwerte. The route is just under 11 km, making it a perfect casual ride—expect mostly quiet roads and smooth surfaces, with the majority of the path paved or asphalt. There's a bit of a scenic climb at the start, but it’s nothing too intense, and you’ll enjoy a gentle descent as you approach Schwerte.

Schwerte itself sits on the banks of the River Ruhr and is famous for its historic old town, half-timbered houses, and the annual "RuhrtalRadweg" cycling events. Most of the ride keeps you away from busy traffic, so you can really relax and soak up the landscape as you pedal through North Rhine-Westphalia’s lush countryside. All in all, it’s a lovely route for anyone looking to enjoy the area’s natural beauty and a bit of local culture at either end.
