Quick ride by bicycle from Lichterfelde to Teltow

This gentle ride takes you from the leafy Berlin suburb of Lichterfelde down to the small town of Teltow, just southwest of the city. Leaving Lichterfelde’s historic villas, you’ll follow mostly quiet, paved paths—ideal for an easy spin, whether you’re commuting or out for some fresh air. Roughly three-quarters of the route is on smooth surfaces, though you’ll hit some stretches of paving stones and a bit of gravel to keep things interesting (nothing too bumpy for most bikes).

You’ll pass alongside calm residential neighborhoods and maybe catch a glimpse of the Teltow Canal, a popular spot for local cyclists. The route keeps it super mellow on elevation, so it’s suitable for cyclists of all levels.

Teltow is a charming destination, known for its annual Teltower Rübchen (turnip) festival and small-town vibe, despite its proximity to Berlin. Park your bike, grab a snack at a local bakery, and enjoy the blend of countryside and city before heading back or catching the S-Bahn home.
