Quick ride by bicycle from Bern to Köniz

This route takes you from the heart of Bern to the charming suburb of Köniz, covering just over 5 km on mostly smooth asphalt. Starting off in Bern, you’ll pedal out from this UNESCO-listed old town, famous for its medieval architecture and lively riverfront. The ride is pretty chill, with a gentle ascent of about 55 meters (you’ll hardly notice it!), and the scenery quickly shifts from city buzz to quieter residential vibes.

You’ll mostly be cruising on quiet roads and cycle paths, so it’s ideal for a relaxed ride or commuting. Köniz, your destination, is known for its green spaces and the Klinz Castle—not as famous as the Bernese sights, but well worth a visit if you want a glimpse of Swiss village life. In short: an easy, scenic city-to-suburb route perfect for a short adventure or daily ride.
