Bicycle Tour: Green Berlin - Oases in the Metropolis
A new guided bicycle tour is offering a fresh way to explore Berlin’s green side. The three-and-a-half-hour ride takes participants through hidden parks, urban retreats, and creative spaces that highlight the city’s push for sustainability. Starting at Kulturbrauerei in Prenzlauer Berg, the route winds past well-known spots and lesser-known green havens.
The tour kicks off at Kulturbrauerei before heading towards Mauerpark and Humboldthain. Riders pass through quiet streets, stopping at key locations like Volkspark Humboldthain, Bürgerpark Pankow, and Schönholzer Heide. The route also includes Schloss Schönhausen, the Panke River, and stretches of the Berlin Wall Trail.
One of the highlights is a climb to the Flakturm, where cyclists can take in a sweeping view of the city. Along the way, the tour showcases renaturalised areas, urban art, and old factories repurposed as green spaces. These stops reveal how Berlin blends nature with city life, using parks, forests, and waterways to cover nearly 30 percent of its urban area. The exact path may shift depending on weather, road conditions, or group preferences. Organisers aim to keep the experience flexible while ensuring riders discover the city’s sustainable projects and creative oases tucked between residential blocks.
The tour wraps up after three and a half hours, leaving participants with a deeper look at Berlin’s green transformation. From panoramic views to hidden retreats, the ride highlights how urban spaces can support climate efforts. No specific guide is named, but the focus remains on the city’s environmental and cultural landmarks.
