Giro veloce in bici da Herten a Marl

This relaxed ride takes you from Herten to Marl, weaving through roughly 12 kilometers of mostly paved paths and quiet roads—perfect for a laid-back day in the saddle. Herten, known for its lovely Schloss Herten (a picturesque moated castle), is a cool spot to start off, especially if you fancy a bit of history before pedaling northward.

The route is friendly for most bikes, since over 75% is paved and the rest is a mix of paving stones and smooth tarmac. You'll gain and lose just a bit of elevation (around 50 meters up and down), making it gentle enough for casual cyclists. Most of your journey will be along separated paths and quiet roads, so expect a peaceful ride with barely any traffic.

As you end your ride in Marl, you’ll find yourself in another Ruhr region town with a blend of industrial heritage and sprawling green spaces. If you’re up for it, grab a coffee at the local center or wander through the vibrant city park before heading back. All in all, an easygoing trip connecting two classic Ruhrgebiet communities!
