Shorter Bike Trips (40 - 90 km)


Quicklinks

Longer Routes (80 - 150 km) - Long-Distance Routes (several days)


 

The following bike trips have been recoreded with a Garmin Edge 800 bike navigator. They are available as GPS tracks in *.gpx format which can be read by most GPS devices. You can also use the maps created with Google Maps on GPS Visualizer, a very confortable tool to create maps from GPS tracks in different formats. Most tracks are located in or around Berlin. Almost all the bike trips described here are suitable for trekking bikes. At least parts of them may however include unpaved roads and therefore might be somewhat difficult for racing bikes.

The route can be used as a shorter training circle. It follows Kronprinzessinnenweg to Wannsee, follows the banks of Wannsee to Glienicker Brücke and returns directly over the hill through Königsstraße to Wannsee. From there the way back leads through Havelchaussee and Postfenn, again with a few longer and steeper slopes..

Quite easy, the track follows the bike routes on small, but mostly paved paths and only touches streets now and then. Part of the tour uses the Berlin-Copenhagen bike route and part of it follows the former soldiers lane directly behind the Berlin wall (Berliner Mauerweg).
