Upper Alster Trail

Highlight • Trail

There is not much to hear from the city noise here. The Alsterwanderweg winds to the left, sometimes to the right of the Alster he leads directly into the center of Hamburg.

Very nice section on the Alster. Apart from the racing bike, every type of bike can be used. Beware some confusing / poorly visible curves.

The Alster hiking trail is one of the most popular walking routes in Hamburg. The route from the city center to the far north of the Hanseatic city leads past Wilhelminian style villas and allotment gardens, floodplain meadows and parks.

Alster Canal

Highlight • River

Riding along the Alsterkanal is my preferred way to get to the city center. It's relatively quiet here compared to the street and you also get to see something.

A great thing with the gravel bike in any weather!

Today we traveled along the Alster Lake from Schleswig-Holstein to the Outer Alster Lake in the heart of Hamburg.
A charming landscape accompanied us: hills, moors, ancient trees 🌳, and later, the impressive gardens of Hamburg villas bordering the waterfront. If you haven't been here yet, you're definitely missing out.
