À vélo de Potsdam à Werder

Looking for a relaxed scenic ride from Potsdam to Werder? This roughly 17 km journey is perfect for a leisurely cycle, with plenty of smooth surfaces (mostly asphalt and concrete), so you won’t need a mountain bike. The route gently winds westward, mostly on dedicated paths and quiet roads, keeping traffic stress at bay.

You'll start just outside the historical heart of Potsdam—a city famous for Sanssouci Palace and lush parks. Pedal away from its baroque charm and soon find yourself alongside tranquil streams and rustic villages. You’ll cross a patchwork of meadows before descending gently towards Werder (Havel). This town is a hidden gem, known for its annual Tree Blossom Festival and pretty island old town.

The total climb is hardly there—just about 50 meters—so there’s nothing extreme. If you love riverside scenes, orchards, and café stops, this route is for you. Perfect for a peaceful half-day escape!
