In bici da Dortmund a Witten

Hop on your bike for a fun spin from Dortmund to Witten! Starting in Dortmund—a vibrant city known for its football team, industrial heritage, and awesome beer—you’ll ride southwest toward the quieter charm of Witten, nestled along the Ruhr River.

This 17 km ride is a sweet mix: mostly smooth paved paths and quiet roads, with a few stretches of paving stones and the occasional bit of gravel to keep things interesting. There’s a steady, gentle climb of about 125 meters along the way, but nothing too serious—just enough to get your heart pumping before cruising down into Witten.

About halfway, you’ll find yourself pedaling through leafy neighborhoods and maybe catching glimpses of the Ruhr Valley. The final stretch brings you to Witten, a town with roots going back nearly a thousand years and a relaxed vibe—perfect for a well-deserved coffee by the river.

Take it easy and enjoy the ride!
