Quick ride by bicycle from Hansaviertel to Teltow

Set off from Hansaviertel, a 1950s architectural gem in Berlin’s Tiergarten district, and cruise south toward Teltow, a charming town just on the city’s edge. You’ll cover just under 20 km—perfect for a half-day ride!

The route is mostly flat (just about 48 meters ascent overall) and takes advantage of Berlin’s extensive network of cycle paths (you’ll spend most of your time on either designated paths or quiet roads). Expect the going to feel smooth: more than 80% of your ride will be on paved surfaces, with a good chunk on asphalt, so this is a friendly option for any kind of bike.

As you leave the buzz of central Berlin behind, you’ll pedal past leafy parks and sleepy suburbs, crossing right over the historic Teltow Canal—a reminder of Berlin’s industrial past. Finish up in Teltow, where you can reward yourself with coffee and cake or stroll the Altstadt with its half-timbered houses. Great as a scenic commuter ride or a chill weekend outing!
