Cycling stops in Berlin

40 places · Germany

Berlin is flat, and riders here treat that as a fact rather than a complaint. The riding runs west out of the city into the Grunewald and along the Havel, where the lakes and the pine forest start almost inside the ring, then on into Brandenburg on long straight lanes between villages.

It is a city with serious coffee at both ends of a ride, which shapes the day more than any hill does.
