Quick ride by bicycle from Treptow to Rummelsburg

A mellow riverside spin from Treptow to Rummelsburg. Roll out through leafy Treptower Park along the Spree—Treptow’s famous for its vast Soviet War Memorial and easygoing waterfront paths. Head toward Elsenbrücke for big river views and a peek at the Molecule Man sculpture; you’ll pass the Osthafen with its old brick warehouses and lively waterside spots.

From here, follow cycleways and quiet access roads along Stralauer Allee, then swing onto the promenade around the Rummelsburger Bucht. It’s a calm finish in Rummelsburg, a former industrial waterfront turned relaxed residential bay that’s great for a breather by the water.

The ride is about 6.7 km, mostly flat with only gentle rises. Surfaces are almost entirely paved (mostly asphalt and paving stones), with the odd cobbled patch—fine for any bike. Expect a mix of park paths, dedicated cycleways, and low-traffic streets. Heads-up for pedestrians on the promenades and in the park, especially on sunny days.
