Giro veloce in bici da Westend a Haselhorst

This ride takes you from Berlin’s leafy Westend up to Haselhorst, a charming neighborhood by the River Havel. You’ll start in Westend, known for its wide boulevards and the nearby Olympic Stadium—great for sports fans and those who like a bit of history.

The route rolls along for about 11.5 kilometers, mostly on paved surfaces (so it’s smooth sailing!). You’ll follow a mix of cycleways, quiet residential streets, and a few gentle paths. Expect a relaxed ride: there’s only about 22 meters of ascent, and you’ll actually descend twice as much, making this trip friendly for all fitness levels.

As you approach Haselhorst, you’ll notice the area’s blend of industry and nature. It’s a great place to cool down and maybe stretch your legs by the riverside. Fun fact: Haselhorst is home to the historic Spandau Citadel, one of Europe’s best-preserved Renaissance fortresses—worth a visit once you roll in!
