By bicycle from Bernau bei Berlin to Buch

This fun ride takes you from the historic little town of Bernau bei Berlin—famous for its well-preserved medieval city wall—down to Buch, Berlin’s green northern gateway known for its beautiful Schlosspark and medical campus. It’s a chill 13.7 km route with pretty much no big climbs (only about 43 m up and 57 m down), so it’s perfect for a relaxed cruise or an easy commuter spin.

You'll spend most of your time rolling along paths and quiet roads, so you don’t have to worry much about traffic. The surface is almost entirely paved, with nice stretches of smooth asphalt, and just a hint of paving stones and cobbles to spice things up—bring a sturdy bike and you’ll be more than fine.

Along the way, you’ll weave through leafy neighborhoods and catch glimpses of old railway lines and Brandenburg countryside, before cruising into Buch, a village-turned-Berlin district with stately parks and a peaceful, laid-back vibe. Treat yourself to some coffee or cake at Schlosspark Buch to celebrate the trip!
