À propos du circuit

14

A round-trip around Potsdam and a bit beyond. Start/finish at a bike/ebike rental at S-Bahn station Griebnitzsee, so it's well reachable from Berlin. I planned it as a team event day with colleagues who didn't know Potsdam yet and it worked great. In the first half it will take you past many of the great sightseeing spots of Potsdam, World Heritage places everywhere. So it will be a bit stop&go but take your time to enjoy. Later it will become less sightseeing and you will be faster. I added my personal recommendations for beer gardens to stop.
