Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Dorsten do Haltern am See

This relaxed 22.7 km cycling route takes you from Dorsten to Haltern am See—two charming towns in the northern Ruhr area.

The ride is great for unwinding, mostly on well-paved paths and quiet roads, with just a handful of light hills to keep things interesting.

You’ll thread your way through peaceful countryside, past open fields and woods, with almost no traffic to worry about. Most of the journey is smooth asphalt, perfect for city bikes or hybrids.
