Quick ride by bicycle from Wannsee to Potsdam

Set off from the leafy lakeside neighborhood of Wannsee, a popular Berlin escape that’s famous for its swimming lido and villa-lined shoreline. Your ride to Potsdam is just over 9 kilometers—a relaxing route that weaves you out of the city bustle through parks and quiet stretches. The terrain has a gentle roll, with a touch of ascent and descent to keep things interesting, peaking at just over 84 meters.

Most of the route is on smooth pavement or asphalt, with a few concrete sections and only a bit of paving stone—so you’re in for a comfortable ride. About 40% takes you along peaceful paths, and you'll share just a short stretch of busy road before rolling into the historic heart of Potsdam.

Finish in Potsdam, a city packed with Prussian palaces and UNESCO-listed parks. The ride’s just long enough to work up an appetite to try a local café! Perfect for a weekend spin with time left over to explore the sights.
