Impressive industrial culture, green open spaces and vibrant urban life: cycling is a great way to experience all of this in Essen. A well-developed network of cycling paths comprising around 260 kilometres is available for this purpose. The majority of these paths have been constructed on disused railway lines, which were being still used to transport coal and steel until a couple of decades ago. Nowadays, these paths offer a relaxed cycling experience, often away from traffic.
