Bike tours tracing the route of the Wall
Discover a Berlin highlight: the bike tour on the Wall Trail along the former Wall strip. Cycle along the former, mostly asphalted Kolonnenweg. In spring, you'll encounter beautiful cherry blossoms in bloom along this route.
In Berlin's city centre, the course of the Wall is partly marked with a cobbled strip, mostly you can follow the traces of the Wall on quiet side streets. On the Wall Trail, you can circle the former West Berlin once, or simply drive a section that you like. One thing is certain, however: variety is guaranteed. The path takes you right through the city centre, past architecture and monuments and also into the greenery.
