Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Wuppertal do Velbert

If you’re up for a beautiful ride through the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia, this route from Wuppertal to Velbert is a great option. Starting in Wuppertal—famous for its elevated “Schwebebahn” suspension monorail—you’ll head northwest for just under 25 km. The path rolls through hilly landscapes and offers a good workout, with several climbs and descents but nothing too extreme. Most of the ride is paved and on quiet paths, so it’s comfortable for just about any bike.

You’ll spend most of your time away from busy roads, gliding through lush green stretches and small towns. The scenery is classic Bergisches Land with its forests and rolling hills—perfect for a mid-ride picnic. After a couple of hours, you’ll reach Velbert, a charming town known historically for lockmaking.

It’s a great ride if you want a taste of local life and some peaceful miles without much traffic. Don’t forget a camera—there are plenty of picturesque stops along the way!
