Excursions for bikers

Where is it worth cycling to?

The best destinations in Hamburg and the surrounding area by bike

It doesn't always have to be an entire circular route: Some destinations are so special that it's worth dusting off your bike just for them!

Alsterpark

The large Alsterpark located on the northwest shore of the Außenalster is popular with all Hamburg residents - between swans, geese, sailboats and nature, is easy to relax and wind down.

From August 15 to 16: Festival feeling in the hanseatic city

MS Dockville

Dockville, Hamburg's annual festival of music and art, will take place for the 16th. time in 2025 - with an unprecedented presentation of visual art and musical line-up, the small independent Dockville team will set new standards this year with the "Open-Air-Festival" format.

Outstanding German civil engineering

Old Elbe Tunnel

When the old Elbe Tunnel, also called St. Pauli Elbe Tunnel, opened in 1911, it was a technical sensation. Today, it is a nostalgic and lovingly tended piece of Hamburg history – and has already celebrated its 100th anniversary.

The home of FC St. Pauli

Millerntor Stadium

The Millerntor stadium in Hamburg is a stadium that offers much more than only soccer. The FC St. Pauli is like no other club representing its district and unites the people of Hamburg far beyond the sport.

Isebek-Ufer

Families, daydreamsers, joggers and cyclists come to the Isebek canal between Eimsbüttel and Schanzenviertel in search of relaxation.

Discover the fruit paradise.

The "Old Country"

Nordic fruit orchards, pink fields of blossoms and a fresh Elbe breeze – the Alte Land is one of the prettiest day trip destinations far away from the massiveness of the Hamburg metropolitan area.

Stroll, relax and watch the ships on the Elbe beach

Elbe beach Övelgönne

The Elbe beach near Övelgönne is a pretty hot tip in summer. When the temperatures rise and the sun burns, nothing is more refreshing than a jump into the cool water.

Duvenstedter Brook

Every fall starting in September, there is a real highlight in the north of Hamburg: Bellowing stags in the Duvenstedter Brook.

Falkensteiner Ufer

The Falkensteiner beach on the Elbe is a popular spot for long walks on the beach at any time of the year.

Boberger Dunes

A sandy landscape on the outskirts of the city - the Boberg Dunes are home to a diverse animal world.

Harburg Hills

To the south of the Elbe, in the hinterland of the maritime metropolis, unique natural spaces await you in which there is much to discover for every generation - you can pursue sporting activities, enjoy culture in the open-air museum, marvel at animals in the wildlife park or simply enjoy the magnificent views of the Elbe valley.
