À vélo de Ohlsdorf à Farmsen-Berne

Roll out from Ohlsdorf and ease into a mellow 10 km cruise toward Farmsen-Berne. You’ll start near Ohlsdorf Cemetery—one of the world’s largest park cemeteries—so expect leafy views right away. The route threads mainly through quiet residential streets with a few short paths, skirting green corridors around Bramfeld/Steilshoop. It’s mostly smooth going: about 97% paved (largely asphalt), with some classic Hamburg paving stones and a tiny gravel pinch—nothing a city bike can’t handle.

Elevation is gentle (under 50 m of climbing), and traffic stays light for most of the ride, with just a couple of busier crossings. Keep an eye out for slick paving stones if it’s wet, and enjoy the shade from tree-lined stretches.

You’ll roll into Farmsen-Berne, a leafy part of Wandsbek known for its quiet neighborhoods and the Berner Au greenway. Handy transit links (U1 stations Farmsen and Berne) and cafés around Farmsen make it a nice spot to refuel before heading back or exploring further. A relaxed, everyday Hamburg ride with plenty of green and little stress.
