Long road bike route from Düsseldorf.
This long road bike route is a considerable endurance ride that leads from Düsseldorf into the heart of the Rhenish lignite mining area. The route is almost entirely tarmac and leads road bike enthusiasts to the immense, surreal landscapes of the Garzweiler and Inden open-cast mines. You cycle on quiet roads and cycle paths that offer safe vantage points of the gigantic excavators and enormous pits. The terrain is predominantly flat, so the difficulty arises solely from the considerable distance and not from the metres in altitude.
