Sortie rapide à vélo de Farmsen-Berne à Ohlsdorf

This is a relaxed, 8.5 km roll from leafy Farmsen-Berne to Ohlsdorf, mostly on quiet residential streets. The surface is almost entirely paved (about 90% asphalt), with just a few short stretches of paving stones, so any city or touring bike will feel at home. It’s basically flat with a gentle net downhill as you head northwest.

Leaving Farmsen-Berne—part of Hamburg’s Wandsbek district with handy U1 stops (Farmsen/Berne)—you’ll thread through green, low-traffic neighborhoods and may skirt small parks and canals before reaching Ohlsdorf. Expect a couple of brief busier connectors; lights and basic road awareness are all you need.

Ohlsdorf is famous for the Ohlsdorfer Friedhof, one of the largest park cemeteries in the world—worth a quiet spin or stroll if you have time. There’s also a major transit hub here (S1/U1) if you’re linking rides.

Tip: watch for the occasional bumpy paving-stone block, and bring a lock if you plan to explore the cemetery grounds or grab a coffee nearby.
