Excursión ciclista de un día de Wittenburg a Potsdam

This is a fantastic long ride—about 108 km—from the quiet town of Wittenburg in Saxony-Anhalt all the way to Potsdam, the scenic gem west of Berlin. Wittenburg, perched near the Elbe, is an ideal spot to start, with its peaceful vibe and rural charm (plus the medieval Church of St. Nikolai if you have time for a look).

You'll pedal mostly on smooth, paved roads and asphalt (the route is 83% paved), rolling through tranquil countryside and passing through small villages and fields. The journey rarely gets too steep (max elevation just under 177 meters, with about 530 m of climbing overall), making it friendly for most cyclists with moderate experience and stamina.

The last stretch into Potsdam is a treat—think gorgeous parks, sightlines of baroque palaces, and a bustling café scene to cap off your day. This city is famous for Sanssouci Palace, its stunning gardens, and elegant bridges over the Havel River. You’ll love rolling into town on such a memorable route!
