Sortie rapide à vélo de Prenzlauer Berg à Berlin-Alt-Hohenschönhausen

This route takes you from the lively Prenzlauer Berg—famed for its vibrant cafés, street art, and leafy boulevards—over to Alt-Hohenschönhausen, a quieter district with a fascinating mix of Plattenbau (prefab) architecture and Berlin history. You’ll be rolling east for just over 8 km, gliding mostly on smooth asphalt and quiet roads. Expect relaxed riding: this route is largely flat, with only gentle elevation changes.

Prenzlauer Berg bursts with character, so it’s worth grabbing a coffee before you set off. The first part of your ride passes pretty residential streets, then you’ll transition into broader avenues as you approach Alt-Hohenschönhausen. This area is known for the Stasi Museum, set in a former secret police HQ, and its peaceful green spaces.

Most of your ride is on well-kept bike paths and calm roads, with the occasional section on paving stones or concrete. Great for a mellow city spin—urban exploration without the stress!
