Cycling day trip from Bad Belzig to Potsdam

Kick off your ride in Bad Belzig, a charming spa town nestled in the heart of Brandenburg. Known for its medieval castle—Burg Eisenhardt—and relaxing thermal baths, Bad Belzig is a perfect place to start a cycling adventure. Your route to Potsdam covers just over 66 km, mostly on smooth, paved roads with a gentle mix of asphalt and a sprinkle of cobblestones and gravel.

The journey is relatively flat, with a bit of climbing early on and a nice descent as you get closer to Potsdam. Expect scenic stretches through tranquil forests, sleepy villages, and lush meadows, mostly on paths and quiet roads—so you can truly soak up the countryside.

The route wraps up in Potsdam, famous for its opulent palaces and parks like Sanssouci (a UNESCO World Heritage site), and its lively riverside atmosphere. It's the perfect blend of historic grandeur and modern city life.

Bring snacks, water, and a camera—this ride is as easy-going as it is picturesque, and there’s plenty to discover at both ends!
