Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Oberhausen do Heiligenhaus

Oberhausen to Heiligenhaus Cycling Route

This ride kicks off in Oberhausen, a city known for its vibrant shopping scene (hello, CentrO mall!) and those classic Ruhrpott industrial vibes. You’ll wind your way south for about 31 km, mostly on quiet paths and roads—perfect if you’re looking to dodge heavy traffic and enjoy a relaxed ride.

Along the way, expect plenty of scenic cycling: about three-quarters of the route is paved, with some stretches of gravel and picturesque paving stones adding a bit of character. There’s a moderate climb (about 317 meters of ascent), rewarding you with some lovely views, especially as you near the highest elevation of 183 meters.

Roll into Heiligenhaus ready for a breather—this peaceful town is nestled in the hills between Velbert and Ratingen, offering a perfect mix of small-town charm and green spaces. Great for a coffee stop before heading back, or maybe a quick stroll to stretch your legs.

Pack a snack, bring your camera, and enjoy this mix of urban energy and rural calm!
