Wall Trail

3 Locations

The Berlin Wall Trail, or Mauerweg, follows the entire former border for over a hundred kilometres around the city. Part memorial, part cycle route, the wall trail here links history with green landscapes. This overview gathers Berlin locations along its length.

The signed path runs where the border once stood, passing memorials, watchtowers and preserved segments as well as forests, fields and lakes on the city's edge. Cyclists and walkers tackle it in sections or in full, with information boards telling the story along the way. It combines a good day out with a moving history lesson.

Browse the venues below to explore the wall trail across Berlin, from city memorials to green stretches.

The Berlin Wall Trail is Berlin's most famous cycling tour: 160 kilometers on the former border strip, divided into 14 stages, all starting and ending at train stations. Over 40 information stations along the way tell the story of the division. It is not a fully developed cycle path; the surface alternates between asphalt, cobblestones, and forest floor.

The Berlin Wall Trail follows the former border strip around West Berlin for about 160 kilometers, along the patrol road of the GDR border troops and the old customs path. Fourteen sections, between 7 and 21 kilometers long, each begin and end at a train station. Ostalgia takes on a different color here, because on this route, the GDR is not a backdrop, but topography.
