By bicycle from Tempelhof to Mariendorf

This relaxed ride starts in Tempelhof, a lively South Berlin district famous for its vast Tempelhofer Feld—a former airport turned massive urban park. As you pedal south, you’ll cruise mostly on quiet roads and smooth asphalt, so it’s easy-going and safe for most abilities. There’s a gentle climb here and there, but nothing leg-burning; overall, it’s a smooth urban glide.

The route winds roughly 10.5 km towards Mariendorf, a charming neighborhood known for its historical horse racing track and peaceful residential streets. Along the way, you’ll catch a blend of city energy and leafy corners, with plenty of opportunities to grab a coffee or relax in a park. Keep an eye out for pockets of Berlin’s classic architecture and community gardens as you go.

With most of the way paved and traffic pretty light, this is a great route if you want a mellow Berlin cycling experience from one classic Kiez to another—perfect for a casual ride or a laid-back commute.
