Weekend traffic-free route spans Nümbrecht to Waldbröl

Prepare your bicycles, inline skates, or walking shoes for a joyful day out! The 21st edition of Car-free Sunday is set to take place on August 31, 2025, in the picturesque towns of Nümbrecht and Waldbröl.

The official opening will be at 9 AM at the Berufsgenossenschaft in Nümbrecht, marking the beginning of an exciting day filled with cycling, skating, and walking. Thousands of participants are expected to join in the festivities, making for a lively and vibrant atmosphere.

The event, organised by Susanne Lang-Hardt, promises a varied 16-kilometer loop route that winds through the charming villages of Hömel, Drinsahl, Bohlenhagen, Hoff, and Hahn. The route is not for the faint-hearted, as it includes many ups and downs, providing a challenging yet rewarding experience.

Safety is a top priority for the organisers, and the road closures for cars along the entire route are ensured by the involvement of village communities, volunteers, fire departments, and town halls. Traffic will be regulated at so-called crossings where cyclists and pedestrians have to cross busy roads, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience for all participants.

Five refreshment stations will be set up along the route in Nümbrecht and Waldbröl, offering drinks, snacks, and a unique feature of the event - stamp cards. By collecting stamps at each rest station, participants can complete the entire loop and join a big raffle with attractive prizes.

The day's events also include an open-air service organised by the Evangelical Church in Waldbröl in Waldbröl-Hahn in the morning.

The success of Car-free Sunday relies on the cooperation and support of various organisations and volunteers, whose efforts make this event possible. So, whether you're a seasoned cyclist, a casual skater, or a leisurely walker, come and join us for a fun-filled day on August 31, 2025, as we take over the streets of Nümbrecht and Waldbröl for a day of car-free enjoyment!
