À vélo de Blankenburg à Berlin-Alt-Hohenschönhausen

Looking for a relaxed ride from Blankenburg to Alt-Hohenschönhausen? This 10 km route is mostly flat, with just enough gentle hills to keep things interesting (think less than 32 meters of climbing, so nothing too dramatic). You’ll roll out of Blankenburg’s peaceful suburbs—once a sleepy village, now a quiet corner of Berlin’s northeast—and glide along calm side streets and handy cycleways for most of the way.

Expect smooth sailing: about 80% of the route is paved, and over 40% is on quiet roads—perfect if you’re not a fan of traffic! There's a patchwork of surfaces, including some classic Berlin paving stones and a few stretches of concrete or gravel, so a hybrid or city bike is ideal. As you finish in Alt-Hohenschönhausen, why not swing by the historic Stasi Museum? The area is full of fascinating Cold War history and sprawling green spots to relax after your ride. All in all, a lovely way to explore Berlin beyond the bustle!
