Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Bergisch Gladbach do Rösrath

This scenic cycle route takes you from Bergisch Gladbach to Rösrath, winding about 15 km through the lush countryside east of Cologne. Starting in Bergisch Gladbach—a charming town known for its historic paper mills and lovely Altstadt—you’ll roll out on a mix of paved and unpaved paths. There’s a fair bit of variety under your wheels: mostly smooth asphalt and paved surfaces, but with some stretches of gravel and cobbles to keep things interesting.

The ride is gentle in terms of hills, with a couple of rolling ascents and descents, perfect for warming up the legs without breaking a sweat. You’ll cruise along quiet roads and peaceful paths, dodging busy traffic almost entirely. As you approach Rösrath, keep an eye out for the lush Wahner Heide nature reserve, a local gem. Rösrath itself is a welcoming small town, known as the “Gateway to the Bergisches Land,” with quaint cafés to reward your efforts at the finish. All in all, this route is a great pick for a relaxed after-work spin or a leisurely weekend ride!
