Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Fuhlsbüttel à Hambourg-Harburg

Route: Fuhlsbüttel to Harburg

This roughly 28 km ride takes you from Fuhlsbüttel, famous for being home to Hamburg’s international airport, all the way down to the vibrant Harburg district in Hamburg’s south. The journey offers a real mix of urban vibes and green patches. You’ll be pedaling mostly on paved surfaces—expect smooth asphalt and some classic German paving stones. There's a gentle ascent of about 97 meters, but nothing too taxing, and you actually lose more elevation than you gain, which makes for a pretty chill ride.

You'll wind through a variety of settings: park paths, quiet residential roads, and the occasional lively pedestrian area. Only a tiny segment puts you on busier roads, so most of the way stays pleasant and low-stress. The route also gives you a glimpse of Hamburg’s diversity, connecting the leafy northern suburbs to the historically industrial and now up-and-coming Harburg. Perfect for commuters and explorers alike!
