Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Herne do Herten

Looking for a relaxed ride in the northern Ruhrgebiet? This route takes you from Herne to Herten—a little over 13 km—making it perfect for a casual cycle with just enough elevation to keep things interesting but not exhausting.

You’ll roll out from Herne, a city known for its rich mining history and annual Cranger Kirmes fair, cruising mainly on quiet roads and smooth asphalt. Most of the way is paved and comfortable, though there’s a touch of gravel and paving stones to give your ride a bit of variety. The scenery alternates between urban pockets and green spaces, thanks to many stretches on low-traffic paths.

Arriving in Herten, you’re right in the heart of another former mining community. If you have time, check out Schloss Herten—a beautiful moated castle nearby—or simply relax in one of the parks. This route is perfect for those looking for a safe, mostly traffic-free ride with a slice of Ruhrgebiet history along the way. Enjoy!
