Quick ride by bicycle from Friedrichshain to Treptow

This ride takes you from the vibrant heart of Friedrichshain down to the green, laid-back district of Treptow—a perfect city-to-park cruise. You’ll start off surrounded by the creative buzz and iconic street art of Friedrichshain, right near the famous East Side Gallery and endless cafes.

The route is super straightforward and mainly flat (only about 25 meters of gentle climbing), with almost the entire ride on smooth asphalt or paved paths. About a third of the distance is on dedicated cycleways, and most of the remaining streets are quiet—so it’s relaxed, even for casual riders. There’s barely any time spent on busy roads.

As you roll south, you’ll catch glimpses of the Spree river and eventually wind up in Treptow, known for its lush parks—perfect for a post-ride picnic. If you have time, check out Treptower Park and maybe take a stroll by the Soviet War Memorial.

All in all, it’s a chill 8k spin with loads to see, easy riding, and plenty of Berlin charm from start to finish.
