Hanseatic Cycle Route

450 km of cycling in the footsteps of the Hanseatic League.

Since 2023, the 14 Hanseatic cities along the route can be experienced on the cross-border Hanseatic Cycle Route from Neuss to Harderwijk. The cycle route connects the Lower Rhine with the IJssel region: a fantastic and varied tour in terms of both landscape and cultural history. On 8 stages, you will immerse yourself in the Hanseatic past and experience the great connection between the Hanseatic cities on both sides of the border!

The brochure was reissued in 2025 for the 143 km section of the route through the Rhineland Hanseatic cities on the German side. The cities of Dinslaken and Rees, which have since joined the Rhineland Hanseatic League, have been integrated and invite visitors to explore the region further with their own Hanseatic loops.
