Anyone who wants to escape the bustle of the big city will find an ideal destination for extended bike tours in the countryside around Berlin. Brandenburg beckons with green meadows, quiet lakes and silent forests, along with magnificent palaces and castles by the wayside. The great round tour through the Oberhavel runs for over 100 kilometres through picturesque villages, the route from Oranienburg to Schloss Mirow combines forest and water over 89 kilometres, and the small loop around the Lehnitzsee is ideal for a relaxed afternoon at 18 kilometres. For sporty cyclists, a road-bike route via Potsdam and Neu Fahrland awaits, as well as an adventurous mountain bike route near Strausberg. Which distance suits your next outing into the green?

I love disappearing from the city for a day and simply cycling into the Brandenburg greenery. While putting these routes together, I looked for tours to suit every level of fitness, from the leisurely loop around the Lehnitzsee to the long ride through the Oberhavel. In the end, one thing matters most to me: the calm by the water. Come along into the countryside.

The great cycling tour through Brandenburg's Oberhavel covers 100 kilometers through green nature, tranquil lakes, and picturesque villages.

The bike tour in southern Brandenburg starts in Wildau and leads via Königs Wusterhausen and several lakes.

From Oranienburg, you can enjoy beautiful lake and forest landscapes by bike on the 89-kilometer route to Mirow Castle.

This athletic cycling route is very popular with road cyclists and is perfect for intensive training sessions.

The rural tour through northern Brandenburg bypasses the idyllic Neuruppin Lake.

The beautiful Four Lakes Route starts in Bad Saarow, Brandenburg, and passes by four idyllically located lakes.

This tour leads over winding forest paths, past idyllic lakes, and is particularly suitable for mountain bikes.

From Schönefeld, the paved route runs along quiet country roads, through forests and by Lake Miersdorf.

From Potsdam, the bike tour passes Templiner See, Schwielowsee, Caputh, and Templin.

The 18-kilometer cycling tour around the idyllic Lehnitzsee is ideal for a short ride on a sunny weekend.
