From a Chinese pagoda to a Brandenburg country house. From Asian plants into rural areas: the bike trip from the Marzahn “Gardens of the World” to the green Berlin countryside is one of the most contrasting tours between the capital and Brandenburg. Via the starting point Ahrensfelde in Berlin along the Wuhletal cycle path, cyclists reach the “Gardens of the World”, a recreational park characterized by Far Eastern and Oriental garden art.

Directions: You cycle through the beautiful Wuhletal valley in a green strip right through Marzahn and Hellersdorf. There are few dreary prefabricated buildings to be seen here. Impressive: three "peaks" rise up in the middle of the city, including the 102-meter-high Kienberg. Visitors can also test their climbing skills on the so-called Wuhletalwächter, a 16-meter-high climbing tower. The German Alpine Association has the right to use the area - no joke! On both sides of the Wuhle, you first head to the district of Kaulsdorf. Later, the tour leads along the tangent of the Kaulsdorf and Mahlsdorf-Nord settlements and the urban Hellersdorf to Hönow on the city limits.
