Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Arrondissement dAltona à Wedel

This relaxed ride takes you from Altona, one of Hamburg’s coolest districts with its hip cafes and riverside vibe, all the way out to charming Wedel on the Elbe. The route is about 23.5 km long and mostly flat, with just a few gentle ups and downs—perfect for a laid-back outing.

You’ll be rolling mainly on quiet roads and smooth asphalt, passing through leafy neighborhoods, parks, and getting some nice peeks at the river. Expect a few short stretches on paving stones or gravel, but nothing too tricky for most bikes. Just be aware there are a few sections where route markings or paving might be missing, so keep an eye on your map or GPS.

Wedel, your finish point, is known for the “Willkomm Höft”—the ship welcoming station where big vessels are greeted in multiple languages. It’s a great spot to watch ships and grab a snack before heading back. All in all, a perfect day trip for some northern German fresh air!
