Sporty & demandingTour tips for gravel bikes, road bikes and mountain bikes

It's always higher, further and faster here: these cycle routes in NRW demand top athletic performance on gravel bikes, racing bikes or mountain bikes. In the low mountain regions of North Rhine-Westphalia, there are routes and bike parks that lead steadily uphill and downhill, either on paved paths, gravel tracks or natural mountain bike trails. The best thing is that those who ride uphill are usually rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views. But you can also set a good pace without any hills, for example on the most beautiful road bike routes in Münsterland.
