Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Berlin-Westend à Friedrichsfelde

Set out from leafy Westend, famous for its grand late 19th-century villas and proximity to the Olympic Stadium, and pedal straight through the heart of Berlin to Friedrichsfelde in the east. Over nearly 24 kilometers, this ride is mostly flat and smooth, making for a relaxed city-crossing adventure. The route is over 98% paved, and you’ll spend much of your time on well-maintained cycleways and quiet roads, dodging most of the city’s hectic main drags.

You’ll whizz past a mix of neighborhoods—from stately Charlottenburg to the artsy vibrancy of Mitte—and pedal through green spaces like Tiergarten. Keep your eyes open for city landmarks and tempting cafés along the way! Approaching the finish, Friedrichsfelde is best known for its impressive Tierpark, Europe’s largest zoo, and the elegant Friedrichsfelde Palace if you feel like a history detour.

With gentle elevation changes and plenty of cityscape variety, this route is ideal for a laidback ride—soak in Berlin’s diversity at handlebar level.
