A bike ride to the forest park Marienhöhe

The green sides of the city

Marienhöhe is located in the west of Hamburg, not far from the Elbe River. A manor house, a street and an outdoor swimming pool are named after it. In earlier times, there was a sand and gravel pit here, which has since been renaturalized.

The entire area with its extensive wooded areas has been redesigned as a park and is now used primarily for local recreation. In winter, children love to use the slopes as toboggan runs. There are also barbecue areas as well as playgrounds and sports facilities in today's Marienhöhe Forest Park.

Not only for walking, but also for cycling the forest park is a worthwhile destination. Coming from the banks of the Elbe, a short but relatively steep incline must be conquered. Otherwise, the tour is relatively flat with only a few gentle climbs. You start at the Jungfernstieg and ride along low-traffic side streets always in a westerly direction until you reach the Elbe beach not far from the Waseberg. Between the stair quarter and the water you roll along the idyllic promenade and get ready for the biggest difficulty of this tour, the steep climb up to the Waldpark.

After crossing the Rissener Landstraße, you are already in the middle of the Waldpark Marienhöhe. The tour describes a loop that allows you to explore the area at your leisure. The return route then runs a bit further north, first through the fields north of Sülldorf and then again along quiet city streets, through Altona's Volkspark, along Diebsteich and finally back to Jungfernstieg. If the way back is too long for you, you can also comfortably get on the train at Diebsteich and be chauffeured to Jungfernstieg.

It is the heart of the city centre for many locals and tourists: the Jungfernstieg - a diverse connection between the Inner Alster and the surrounding shops and attractions.
