In bici da Kladow a Potsdam

Ready for a scenic ride? Start your cycling journey in Berlin’s peaceful Kladow district, with its village-like feel, historic manor, and proximity to the Havel river. From here, you’ll roll southwest toward Potsdam, famous for its royal parks and stunning palaces.

This roughly 18 km route is mostly smooth sailing with 96% paved surfaces—mainly asphalt—so it’s easy on your tires. The ride is gently undulating, with just over 100 meters of ascent and descent, making it accessible for most riders. About half your trip will be on quiet roads, and a good chunk winds along cycling paths through forests and meadows, so be ready for some fresh air and gorgeous lakeside glimpses.

As you approach Potsdam, you’ll notice the city’s elegant silhouette, dotted with domes and spires. Whether you’re stopping for coffee at the Dutch Quarter or heading for Sanssouci Park, the ride offers a perfect blend of nature, history, and relaxation. Pack a snack, don’t forget your camera, and have fun exploring this little slice of Brandenburg countryside!
