Quick ride by bicycle from Pankow to Reinickendorf

This relaxed cycling route takes you from Pankow to Reinickendorf, two northern boroughs of Berlin known for their laid-back, green character. Starting in Pankow, you’ll pedal through a mostly paved route—expect lots of smooth asphalt and only short sections of cobblestone and paving stones. The ride is mostly flat, with very gentle up- and downhills, making it beginner-friendly and great for city bikes.

Almost half your journey runs along quiet roads, with a good portion on dedicated paths and cycleways. You’ll pass through peaceful residential neighborhoods and leafy streets, catching glimpses of local parks and allotment gardens that are typical of this part of Berlin. No need to worry about busy traffic—busy roads are pretty much absent along this route.

Reinickendorf, your destination, is a district that blends old Berlin charm with plenty of green spaces and lakes. Take a breather when you arrive and enjoy a stroll in one of its parks or head to nearby Tegeler See if you’re up for a little extra adventure!
