Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Bielefeld do Oerlinghausen

Ready for a little adventure from Bielefeld to Oerlinghausen? This roughly 17.4-kilometer cycling route is a pleasant roll through the Teutoburg Forest region—expect mostly paved surfaces and fun cycling paths (over half the trip is on dedicated cycleways), with stretches of quiet roads that give you plenty of space to pedal and enjoy the view.

You’ll start in Bielefeld, a city with a surprising mix of greenery and urban culture. (Fun fact: the Bielefeld Conspiracy meme originated here—look it up for a laugh!) As you leave the city, you’ll climb gradually (about 227 meters ascent in total), winding your way through leafy suburbs and scenic forest edges before coasting down a bit toward Oerlinghausen.

Oerlinghausen itself is a charming town perched on the edge of the Teutoburg Forest, famous for its glider airfield and open-air museum. The ride features mostly smooth asphalt and some stretches of paving stones—enough variety to keep it interesting but nothing too tricky.

Pack a snack, bring your camera, and get ready to discover some lovely Westphalian countryside!
