Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Neustadt/Süd do Frechen

Here’s a great cycling route if you’re looking to explore a little beyond Cologne! Starting off in Neustadt/Süd—one of Cologne’s hippest quarters packed with quirky cafés, lively bars, and pretty green spaces—you’ll roll west on a mainly paved, mostly quiet journey out of the city.

The ride covers about 13 km and is a pretty relaxed pedal, with only a gentle 44 meters of ascent, so it’s suitable for most ability levels. Expect a good mix of surfaces: mostly smooth pavement and asphalt, but keep an eye out for patches with paving stones and even a few gravelly bits, especially as you get closer to Frechen.

As you leave the urban buzz, the path winds toward Frechen—a small town just outside Cologne, known for its pottery tradition and friendly vibe. It’s a perfect finish if you want some peace or a little local exploration. Most of your ride’s on bike paths or quiet backroads, so you can soak in the scenery worry-free!
