Park Tour Royal

It goes through the three large parks Neuer Garten, Park Babelsberg and Park Sanssouci. The first stage is Babelsberg Park. This park impresses with its cultural landscape design. A particular highlight is Babelsberg Palace, which overlooks the Havel and is built in the English Gothic style. The route continues over the park bridge past Glienicke Palace to Glienicke Bridge, where the famous exchange of agents took place. From here it goes into the New Garden to Cicilien Hof Palace. Shortly behind the palace is the Meierei, where you can enjoy home-brewed beer. From here, the route continues via the Russian settlement of Alexandrowka to Sanssouci Park. First around the park to the new plais and then through the middle of the park. The route then continues through the city center with the Dutch Quarter. The many cafés here invite you to linger. The route continues to the new market, past the city palace and through Nuthe Park back to the starting point.

Potsdam and surrounding area

The tour starts at Babelsberg S-Bahn station, past Babelsberg Park and through the city center. The first highlight is the ride through Sanssouci Park via Ökonomieweg to the new palace. From there, the route continues along Lindenallee to the railroad bridge that leads to Werder. The island of Werder should be planned as a stop. With a delicious ice cream or smoked fish in your hand, the historic town center of the island is a great place to explore. From Werder, the route continues almost all the way around Lake Schwielowsee. In the village of Petzow, don't miss a stop at Sanddorn Christine Berger and Petzow Castle. The last highlight is Forsthaus Templin. Here you can enjoy the home-brewed beer "Potsdamer Stange" and typical brewery dishes. The return journey is along the Havel back to Potsdam. The nice thing about this tour is that most of the route is completely car-free or leads along a cycle path.
