Rowerowa z Poll do Neustadt/Süd

This ride takes you from the riverside neighborhood of Poll to the lively Neustadt/Süd district in Cologne—about 7 km of urban exploring! Starting in Poll, you’ll pedal along the Rhine, taking advantage of mostly paved paths and quiet roads, which means stress-free cycling almost the whole way. There’s a mix of surfaces under your wheels: plenty of smooth asphalt, some classic Cologne paving stones, and short sections of concrete—all very manageable on most bikes.

As you roll north, you’ll skirt the edge of the Südstadt, famous for its vibrant cafés, lively student vibe, and historic Severinstorburg city gate. With only a gentle climb (just 47 m of ascent), this route is perfect for commuting or for anyone wanting a relaxed tour through residential and trendy quarters.

Don’t forget to take a breather near the Chlodwigplatz—the heart of Neustadt/Süd—before heading to your next adventure. All in all, a breezy city ride connecting two cool sides of Cologne!
