Cycling day trip from Teltow to Potsdam

This relaxed route takes you from Teltow—a charming small town just south of Berlin—over to the historic city of Potsdam. It’s a smooth 24 km ride, mostly on paved surfaces, so you can expect easy pedaling whether you’re on a road bike or something a bit sturdier. Most of your journey winds through quiet roads and dedicated paths, offering a peaceful escape with very little car traffic.

You’ll roll gently west, with hardly any hills to slow you down, passing bits of lush Brandenburg countryside. There’s a nice stretch on old paving stones and some smooth asphalt—perfect for maintaining a steady rhythm.

When you arrive in Potsdam, you’ll find yourself at the edge of a UNESCO World Heritage city packed with palaces, parks, and lakes. Why not finish your ride with a stroll through Sanssouci Park or a coffee at one of the local cafés? It’s a perfect ride for a laid-back morning or afternoon outing, linking two vibrant spots with just the right mix of scenery and culture.
