Grand Tour de Grüne Hauptwege Stage 20/20 – Bullengrabenweg / Bull Trench Route

  • by

The final Stage of the Grand Tour de Grüne Hauptwege was a lovely cycle across the district of Spandau towards the border of Berlin and Brandenburg. The extremely well-paved path along the Bullengraben was excellent for cycling through some very residential areas in Berlin. The final stretch took me in the moor landscape around the Hahneberg with some great views over the Brandenburg landscape.

Grand Tour de Grüne Hauptwege Stage 19/20 – Tiergartenring / Tiergarten Ring

The penultimate Stage of the Grand Tour de Grüne Hauptwege was an enjoyable loop around central Berlin. I was struggling to get out on the bike because of blood glucose issues so this route was great for trying out new ways of controlling my blood glucose. Thankfully, I could enjoy a sunny day cycling through many parks and along different waterways.

Grand Tour de Grüne Hauptwege Stage 16/20 – Humboldt Spur / Humboldt Trail

Stage 16 of the Grand Tour de Grüne Hauptwege took me through some lovely northern districts of Berlin. This route was inspired by the wanderings of the Humboldt brothers (Alexander and Wilhelm). I was lucky enough to cycle this route when the first blossoms were at their peak. I also managed to enjoy some sheep, cows, boar and deer along the way too.

Grand Tour de Grüne Hauptwege Stage 14/20 – Wuhletalweg / Wuhle Valley Route

Stage 14 of the Grand Tour de Grüne Hauptwege followed the river Wuhle from the north east of Berlin towards the river Spree in Köpenick. This is the final Stage of this Grand Tour in 2021 and it was fantastic! Full of amazing views from “mountains” and autumnal colours everywhere. This long planned ride was really worth the wait.

Grand Tour de Grüne Hauptwege Stage 13/20 – Barnimer Dörferweg / Barnim Villages Route

A sunny but chilly autumn day was a great chance to cycle through the Barnim Villages for Stage 13 of the Grand Tour de Grüne Hauptwege. I cycled from the Tegeler See towards the east of Berlin through some amazing landscapes – many of which are nature reserves too. Despite some blood glucose troubles at the end, this was an amazing ride and I really loved the autumn colours just popping everywhere.

The eleventh Grüner Hauptweg was a stunning ride where I visited most of the lakes making up the Grunewaldseenkette (Grunewald Lake Chain). These lakes are surrounded by villas, lush forests and are very popular with swimmers, hikers and cyclists. A truly magnificent ride!
