Bicycle concert – Island Circumnavigation Potsdam

Tour 1 (44 km)

Explore the island status of Potsdam yourself! Always past the 14 bridges linking Potsdam to its surroundings on all sides. And building bridges is what the Bicycle Concert 2022 does thematically: between cyclists and disabled artists as well as to cycling top musicians, between eras, cultures, and styles, between music, bicycle, circus arts and urban sounds with self-made music. Concerts, guided tours, and viewings invite you to discover the island feeling by bicycle. Choose from three different tours always staying close to the water.

There’s an almost maritime, yet “of the Mark” atmosphere once you leave the city behind and start your personal Island Circumnavigation through rural regions and their fresh green. Make your way along the shores of Potsdam’s Havel lakes towards Golm and Nattwerder to the Sacrow-Paretz-Canal, which turned Potsdam into an island in 1875. Visit the Persius Tower and cycle along the new villas at Jungfernsee. Once you’ve cycled across Glienicker Bridge and through the New Garden you’ll get to the Island of Friendship, idyllically located between two branches of the River Havel. Enjoy a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Especially recommended for e-bikes!
