Mönchengladbach

Mönchengladbach lies in the Rhine-Ruhr lowlands where flat terrain suits road cycling and recreational running. Local cyclists favour distance brevets like the 200km Büttger Brevet and the 80km Entlang der Niers mit RV Möwe Lürrip; the Niers river valley and routes into the Dutch border region dominate club rides. Running here is pancake-flat with canal towpaths and park loops around the city; serious elevation comes only on trips southeast toward the Bergisches Land, 30–40km away.
