In the southwest of Berlin you will find everything you need for a perfect bike ride. Many museums such as the Allied Museum or the Samuari Art Museum, historical places of interest such as the Wannsee Conference House or the Glienicke Bridge, extraordinary settlements such as Uncle Tom's Hut or Schwanenwerder Island, and of course nature. In addition to the Wannsee, many other small lakes await you with their idyllic swimming spots. Shady bike paths through the forest, lively neighborhoods and cozy cafes and restaurants will make your bike tours perfect.

In this collection, we introduce you to three signposted cycle paths with a length of between 9 and 12 miles (15 and 20 kilometers). On the "Dahlem Route" you meander through Dahlem from the Botanical Garden and discover hidden corners, interesting buildings and of course the crooked Lanke, the popular bathing lake. On the "Nikolassee Route" the nature experience is in the foreground. After a slightly hilly lap at the Wannsee, you drive straight through the Düppeler Forst. The "Wannsee-Babelsberg Route" always leads you along the water to the most beautiful lakes in the southwest and exciting places of history, such as the house of the Wannsee Conference. In addition, in this collection, you'll find three combined tours from the previous three routes if you'd like to cycle a bit longer.
