Cycling day trip from Oranienburg to Zehdenick

This scenic bike ride takes you from Oranienburg up to Zehdenick, a journey of about 34 kilometers mostly along smooth, paved paths—ideal for a relaxed day trip. Starting in Oranienburg, a charming town just north of Berlin with its impressive baroque palace and tranquil Havel riverside, you’ll find the route delightfully straightforward and mostly flat, with gentle climbs making up less than 100 meters.

As you follow a mix of forest paths, bike tracks, and quiet roads (don’t worry, barely any busy streets), you’ll pass through peaceful stretches of Brandenburg countryside dotted with lakes, meadows, and stretches of woodland. With almost the entire ride being on asphalt or solid pavement, you won’t have to worry about tough terrain—just the fresh country air.

Ending in Zehdenick, an old brickmakers’ town famous for its picturesque lock on the Havel canal, you might want to stroll along the water or refuel at a riverside café. It’s a lovely, low-stress route for anyone who wants a solid half-day adventure out of the city!
