Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Haltern am See do Marl

This enjoyable 18.4 km ride takes you from the lakeside town of Haltern am See down to Marl, winding mostly along paved paths and quiet roads. Expect gentle ups and downs, with around 117 meters of total ascent—nothing too intimidating for most riders.

You’ll roll out from Haltern am See, a charming spot known for its relaxing lakes and forested surroundings—great vibes if you want a pre-ride stroll or a post-ride ice cream. The route uses a nice blend of smooth asphalt and classic paving stones, with most of the way being separate bike paths or peaceful side streets. Only a tiny section runs along busier roads, so you can mostly just enjoy the scenery.

As you approach Marl, you’ll enter a city famous for its modernist architecture and, believe it or not, its connection to Germany’s chemical industry history. Altogether, it’s a safe, interesting ride between two towns that both reward a little exploring. Grab your water bottle and enjoy!
