Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Velbert do Mettmann

Get ready for a pleasant spin from Velbert to Mettmann! This route stretches just over 15.5 km, and it’s perfect if you’re up for a relaxed ride—mostly downhill, with a total descent of nearly 230 meters, making it a bit easier on the legs.

You’ll roll out of Velbert, a charming town nestled in the hills between Essen and Wuppertal—well known for its long tradition in lock and fitting manufacturing. Soon you’ll leave the busier roads behind: most of this ride winds through peaceful paths and quiet roads, with about 60% on separated paths and plenty of smooth asphalt under your tires.

The scenery gently shifts as you head south, with a few gentle climbs (about 114 meters of ascent), but nothing too daunting. The last stretch leads you into Mettmann, famous for the Neanderthal Museum—and yes, it’s the very place where those famous prehistoric remains were found!

All in all, it’s a mostly paved, serene ride connecting two interesting towns—great for a Sunday escape or a leisurely day out!
