Hamburg – Berlin

After your arrival, you have the opportunity to explore the Hanseatic city on a harbour tour or a walk along the gangplanks.

From Hamburg with its port and the ‚Reeperbahn‘ your initial stage takes you along the river Elbe to Lauenburg. You cycle on the dyke directly into the shipping town featuring many half-timbered houses from the 16th and 17th century.

Today’s cycle route leads through the Elbtal-wetlands and the Wendland to Hitzacker, one of the most attractive towns on the German Half-Timbered Road. The little historic centre with its many half-timbered houses invites you for a stroll and to linger.

Through the Wendland you cycle today along the dyke to Wittenberge. En route you cycle past the former inner-German border area..

After leaving the city of towers Wittenberge behind you, you cycle along the dyke to Havelberg. In between, the Elbe cycle path takes you through Rühstädt, the village with the largest stork population in Germany.

From today you accompany the river Havel through the green fields and small villages of the Schollener Land. You cycle through the Westhavelland Nature Park and end the stage in the town of Rathenow.

Today be sure to pack your swimming things, since you cycle through the lake area located North-West of the city of Brandenburg. The city itself is spread across several islands and peninsulas to explore.

Today’s route takes you first on dyke paths across wide open land. We recommend you plan some time for the island town of Werder and for Caputh Palace (as a detour). In the afternoon you cycle along the idyllic promenade of Lake Templin to Potsdam.

In the morning you cross the Glienicker Bridge from Potsdam to Berlin. You cross the lake Großer Wannsee by ferry. Via Berlin-Spandau you now reach the centre of Berlin along the Spree cycle path.
