Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Arrondissement dAltona à Hambourg-Harburg

Hop on your bike in lively Altona, right near the heart of Hamburg, and set off for a relaxed ride south to Harburg. This 22 km route is mostly on smooth, paved roads and quiet paths, so you’ll get to escape city traffic and enjoy some scenic sections along the way.

You’ll start in Altona—famous for its multicultural vibe, riverside parks, and old industrial buildings turned into cool cafés—and gently wind your way south. The ride takes you past the docks and through some leafy neighborhoods, with the Elbe River never too far away.

There’s a bit more downhill than up (yay!), so the 74 meters of ascent won’t leave you gasping. By the time you get to Harburg, with its charming old town and the impressive Harburg Castle, you’ll have seen a truly different side of Hamburg—away from the tourist crowds. Perfect for a chilled-out ride with just a few little climbs to keep things interesting!
