This approximately 40 km (25 mi) long ride is a bike-compatible sightseeing tour through Berlin. The route begins and ends at Berlin Hauptbahnhof (Berlin Central Station). Of course, it is also possible to start at any point on the route or to combine this ride with a long-distance route.

In addition to the famous Berlin sights, this route also goes through less spectacular residential areas, park, alongside the Spree river und -- this has become possible since 2010 -- across the airfield of former Tempelhof airport. The route goes through the city centers of both West and East Berlin, gets you to many historical locations, important architecture, popular local hangouts and cultural sites.

The roads overall have a good quality surface (paved), but some cobblestone passages can't be avoided.
