Quick ride by bicycle from Steglitz to Teltow

Cycling from Steglitz to Teltow

Kick off your ride in Steglitz, a laid-back south-west Berlin neighborhood known for its smart streets and the famous Schlosspark Theater. The journey to Teltow is around 11.5 km, making it perfect for a scenic half-day outing.

The route takes you along a pleasant mix of paved and gravel paths—mostly smooth, but expect a couple of crunchier gravel stretches (about 19%) and some classic Berlin paving stones. Luckily, you’ll avoid busy roads almost entirely. Instead, you’ll wind your way down quiet streets and dedicated paths, taking in green spaces and glimpses of the Teltow Canal.

You’ll lose a bit more elevation than you’ll gain, so there are some gentle downhills along the way. Teltow itself is worth a wander: it’s a small, historic Brandenburg town with a charming old market square. If you fancy lingering, grab a coffee at a local café or check out the town’s photogenic riverside spots before you head back.

Overall, it’s a relaxed, mostly traffic-free route—ideal for city escapees and leisure cyclists alike!
