By bicycle from Alt-Hohenschönhausen to Fennpfuhl

This relaxed ride takes you from Alt-Hohenschönhausen to Fennpfuhl, covering just under 4 km — a perfect cruise through Berlin’s northeast neighborhoods. Starting in Alt-Hohenschönhausen, known for its GDR-era apartment blocks and the Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial (a former Stasi prison), you’ll head south-west mostly along quiet residential streets, so the ride should be peaceful and low-stress.

The route is super accessible for all kinds of bikes, with smooth pavement making up the vast majority of surfaces. You'll pass a few green spaces and patches of classic Berlin Plattenbau architecture before reaching Fennpfuhl, a cozy neighborhood built around a central pond (“Pfuhl”) and dotted with parks. The route is mostly flat, so it's friendly for beginners or anyone just wanting an easy pedal.

Fennpfuhl is known for its spacious parks and modernist 1970s tower blocks, offering a cool contrast to your starting point. Grab a coffee and enjoy the view by the water before retracing your route — or exploring further into Lichtenberg!
