Quick ride by bicycle from Baumschulenweg to Johannisthal

This scenic route takes you from Baumschulenweg, a leafy neighborhood in southeast Berlin known for its historic tree nurseries (“Baumschule” means tree nursery!), down to Johannisthal—famous for its early aviation history. The ride is about 12 km, mostly on lovely, paved paths (no major hills!), making it a super chill outing whether you’re commuting or just out for fun.

You’ll start off near the Spree and wind your way past parks and quiet streets, with over 90% of the ride on smooth asphalt and almost no busy roads to worry about. It’s great for soaking up the local vibe—expect to pass a few green spaces, and you might even spot one of the area’s old nurseries or see a nod to Johannisthal’s airfield past. With the ride being mostly flat and traffic-light, it’s perfect for a relaxed afternoon spin or a no-stress commute.

Grab a coffee to go in Baumschulenweg, coast south, and enjoy a mellow, well-maintained path ending in the historic heart of Johannisthal!
