Cycling day trip from Brandenburg to Werder

This ride takes you from the historic city of Brandenburg an der Havel all the way to the charming town of Werder (Havel). Set off near Brandenburg’s old town, famous for its medieval cathedral and scenic rivers, then pedal east through peaceful countryside and pretty lakeside spots.

You’ll cover about 36.5 kilometers on mostly paved paths—great for a relaxed day out, with gentle ascents (only 77 meters up) and more descent than climb. The route runs on quiet roads and enjoyable bike paths for the most part, so you won’t have to fuss with heavy traffic.

Arriving in Werder, you’re in one of the region’s prettiest fruit-growing areas—perfect if you’re visiting in spring during the famous cherry blossom, or in late summer for apple season. Take a riverside break, explore the island old town, and treat yourself to a slice of fruit cake or a glass of local wine before heading back or hopping on the train.

It’s a fun ride suitable for most bikes and a perfect taste of Brandenburg’s natural beauty and small-town charms!
