Giro veloce in bici da Alt-Hohenschönhausen a Blankenburg

Set off from Alt-Hohenschönhausen, a neighborhood in Berlin known for its distinctive Plattenbau architecture and the chilling history of the former Stasi prison. You’ll wind your way north through a pleasant 9.4 km ride to Blankenburg, a quiet, more rural district just beyond the urban buzz.

The route is mostly flat, so it’s perfect for a relaxed spin—no serious climbs here, just a gentle descent as you ride out of the city. Expect mostly paved roads, with some sections on smooth asphalt and a sprinkle of country concrete, plus occasional stretches of paving stones and unpaved ground for a bit of variety.

You’ll spend much of your route on peaceful roads and dedicated cycleways, breezing past parks, residential streets, and perhaps catching glimpses of Berlin’s lush green edges. Once you reach Blankenburg, you’ll find yourself in a more tranquil spot, where community gardens and old farmhouses hint at the area’s rural past. All in all, a mellow ride—great for anyone looking to escape the bustle and soak in a different side of the city.
