Cologne, Pletschbach and three churches

24 kilometres from Cologne — across the Pletschbach bridge, past three churches, with an ice cream shop along the way.

The route

You start in Cologne. You cross the Pletschbach bridge and roll almost entirely on asphalt through residential areas, woodland and park. The route is flat — 82 metres of elevation gain over 24 kilometres. Along the way you pass the churches Schmerzhafte Mutter Maria, Kapelle am Cohnenhof and Sankt Marien, plus the monument Heiliger Nepomuk. If you fancy a break, there's the Crepes-Eis-Stand.
