Riding along the Berlin Wall
From the construction of the Wall in August 1961 until the fall of the Wall in 1989, this 160-kilometer-long, so-called “death strip” cut through the city and the lives of its people for almost 30 years. In a zigzag course, the "Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart" separated Berliners in East and West.

Along the 15 kilometers between the place where the Wall fell on Bornholmer Straße and the government district, the bike tour follows the obvious as well as the hidden remnants of the “Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart” in Berlin.
The Wall Bicycle Tour takes you to former border crossings, explores the Mauerpark, for example, and visits the official Berlin Wall Memorial Museum area on Bernauer Straße where the last remaining, totally intact, portion of the Berlin Wall and a guard tower can be seen.
