Rowerowa z St. Pauli do Altona

This quick ride takes you from lively St. Pauli, famous for its nightlife and the legendary Reeperbahn, over to Altona, a relaxed and multicultural neighborhood with a rich history as a former Danish city. It’s just over 3 km, so you’ll be cruising for about 15–20 minutes at an easy pace.

You’ll mostly stick to quiet, paved roads, with the vast majority being smooth asphalt, making it a pleasant ride for all bike types. Expect a gentle ascent of around 23 meters—a breeze even for casual riders. Along the way, keep an eye out for cool street art, quirky cafes, and glimpses of the Elbe River.

Rolling into Altona, you might want to stop at Altonaer Balkon for stunning river views or explore the eclectic shops and bakeries. All in all, it’s a low-stress urban route connecting two of Hamburg’s most interesting—and contrasting—districts.
