Cycling day trip from Marienthal to Reinbek

This scenic ride takes you from Marienthal, a lush and leafy district in Hamburg known for its beautiful parks and historic villas, out to the charming town of Reinbek. The route covers about 20.5 km and is mostly flat, with modest climbs—so it’s perfect if you’re looking for a comfortable cruise without too much exertion.

You’ll roll mostly along quiet roads (nearly half the route!), and there’s a good stretch on car-free paths and the occasional gravel track—great for soaking up the countryside atmosphere as you leave the city behind. Almost 90% of your ride is on paved or asphalt surfaces, so you don’t have to worry too much about off-road tires.

Reinbek, your destination, is famous for its lovely Renaissance castle set by the river Bille—a perfect spot to relax and maybe grab a coffee before heading back or hopping on the train home. So, pump up your tires, pack a snack, and enjoy a gentle adventure out of the city!
