Modern sights to natural beauty – discover Spandau by bike

This 24-kilometer tour is all about architecture, with a few excursions into the idyllic natural surroundings of Spandau. You will drive to the remarkable Siemensstadt housing estate, a monument to Berlin Modernism. You will pass by the impressive Berlin Olympic Stadium from the 1930s, enjoy the idyll of "Little Venice" and finally discover the beautiful old town of Spandau.

That's exactly where it starts. Driving along the Havel, you leave the old town of Spandau behind you, cross the river and cycle across the small Havel island of Eiswerder. On the picturesque Berlin-Spandau shipping canal, you will "cross over" to the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district and head for Siemensstadt. It's worth keeping your eyes open and taking a look at the interesting architecture of Berlin Modernism. If you feel like taking a break, you can take a detour to the Jungfernheide public park, where you can rest at the lido or even jump into the water.

Let's move on. At the Berlin Olympic Stadium, you can marvel again - if you stand right in front of it, the building is pretty impressive. The adjacent "mirror forest" on the Murellenberg, on the other hand, is more thought-provoking: the many mirrors that are set up here are a reminder of the executed war deserters of the Second World War. You can reach the forest with a short detour.

Back in the Spandau district, you now cycle through Tiefwerder and it becomes really idyllic here. It's not for nothing that the area is also called "Little Venice". Small canals, picturesque boats and lots of greenery - it's really bearable here! And maybe you'd like to discover it all from a different perspective: this is an ideal starting point for boat tours with a paddle boat or kayak.

Whether by boat or by bike – back in the old town of Spandau you are guaranteed to find a cozy restaurant where you can fortify yourself and round off this beautiful tour in an atmospheric way.
