By bicycle from Lichtenrade to Marienfelde

This ride takes you from the quiet, southern Berlin neighborhood of Lichtenrade to neighboring Marienfelde, both tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Lichtenrade is known for its mellow, almost village-like vibe, while Marienfelde has an interesting history—it was home to a refugee camp during the Cold War and today is a blend of green spaces and industry.

The route itself is about 12.8 km long and super accessible, with almost the entire way paved (mostly smooth asphalt). You’ll wind along peaceful roads and paths—perfect for an easy spin, with almost no busy streets to worry about. Elevation changes are barely noticeable, so it’s great whether you’re rolling on a city bike or something speedier.

You’ll take in quiet residential streets, pass by some parks, and maybe even spot the old Marienfelde manor house near your destination. All in all, it’s a relaxed ride ideal for a weekend cruise or a low-key commute.
