Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Hövelhof do Paderborn

This ride takes you from the little town of Hövelhof, known as the official source of the River Ems, all the way down to the historic city of Paderborn. It’s a super pleasant 16.8 km journey—mostly flat with just some gentle climbing (nothing your legs will grumble about).

The route sticks almost entirely to smooth paved surfaces, mostly quiet paths and a handful of peaceful roads, making it ideal for all types of bikes and a relaxed cruise through the scenic landscape of North Rhine-Westphalia. You’ll pedal past open farmland and under cozy tree canopies, so keep an eye out for local birds and the odd field rabbit!

As you roll into Paderborn, take a moment to check out the city’s famous cathedral or grab a coffee in one of the old town’s charming squares. Whether you’re out for a weekend spin or heading into town for a change of pace, this route is a lovely way to connect two quintessential Westphalian towns. Enjoy the ride!
