Quick ride by bicycle from Altona to Hamburg-Nord

This ride takes you from Altona, one of Hamburg’s coolest districts known for its laid-back vibe and riverside parks, up to the bustling borough of Hamburg-Nord. You’ll roll out on mostly quiet roads and smooth pavement—perfect for a chill spin or a comfy commute. Expect just a gentle climb (the route’s highest point barely hits 33 meters!), and with more descent than ascent, you’re in for a mostly flat cruise.

You’ll pass through classic Hamburg neighborhoods, maybe catching glimpses of old brick buildings, leafy squares, and the occasional café begging for a pit stop. The route keeps you almost entirely on paved surfaces, so no need to worry about rough patches—just a touch of cobblestone for that classic Hamburg feel.

Ending in Hamburg-Nord puts you near the city’s green lungs, like Stadtpark, and plenty of great lunch spots. Whether you’re new in town or a local, this ride is a great snapshot of Hamburg’s charm on two wheels!
