Quick ride by bicycle from Winterhude to Stellingen

Ready for a chilled ride across Hamburg? Start your journey in Winterhude, a lively neighborhood famous for its canals and the beautiful Stadtpark—perfect for pre-ride coffee or a quick stroll by the water. From there, pedal southwest on mostly quiet, paved roads, making the route ideal if you prefer low-traffic cycling.

The scenery transitions from Winterhude’s urban charm to the more residential, laid-back feel of Stellingen. Along the roughly 11 km ride, you’ll cruise past cozy neighborhoods and maybe catch snippets of green parks. Elevation is minimal, with only a couple of gentle rises to keep things interesting—nothing too strenuous.

You’ll end up in Stellingen, perhaps best known for the Volksparkstadion and the Hamburg Zoo. It’s a great spot to unwind or, if you’ve got the energy, check out some local attractions.

All in, this is a relaxing, mostly flat ride that’s well-suited for anyone who enjoys discovering Hamburg’s distinct neighborhoods from the saddle. Don’t forget your camera—Winterhude’s canals look especially nice in the early morning!
