From Herzberge landscape park to Rummelsburger Bucht
Familymostly away from motor trafficnot assessed
Just under eight kilometres right across Lichtenberg, from the landscape park to the water. All three main-road crossings have traffic lights — and by the published criteria that is still not enough for a children's assessment.

How the route is laid out
mostly away from motor traffic
- For most of its length the route is structurally separated from motor traffic.
- Where the route runs on the carriageway, a 30 km/h limit or less applies for the most part.
- The on-street sections are side streets without continuous through traffic.
- A substantial part runs through park, riverside or forest paths.
- There are only a few traffic signals along the whole route; the ride runs largely without stops.
This classification does not judge how dangerous or harmless a route is. It only summarises the characteristics established below, and it applies to the day of the survey and to the described alignment, not to the volume of traffic at a particular hour.
Riding with children
not assessed
- The route is separated from motor traffic throughout – no section forces you to ride in traffic.
- For most of its length the path is wide enough to ride side by side.
- There are several places along the way to stop and get off.
- At least one playground lies directly on the route.
- The route has no climb that would make children push.
This too is no promise of suitability but the list of characteristics we established. Whether a route suits your child, you know better than we do.
The route
The route starts in Herzberge landscape park with its pastures and orchards and runs via Frankfurter Allee Süd and the Kaskelkiez to the shore of the Rummelsburger Bucht. 90 per cent of the length is separated from motor traffic and 62 per cent lies in green space; the route is flat and wide enough to ride two abreast.
For family suitability it is nevertheless listed as not assessed. The reason lies in the criteria: three main-road crossings over 7.8 kilometres is above the threshold of at most one crossing per three kilometres. All three have traffic lights — but the threshold counts the crossings, not their equipment. That makes the reason visible instead of issuing an assessment without a basis.
What you should know beforehand
The shore path at Rummelsburger Bucht is busy with pedestrians on warm days. In Herzberge landscape park, consideration for the grazing animals applies. There is no public toilet along the way. These details come from an editorial map review carried out on 16 September 2026. They describe the way the route is laid out, not the state of the surface on the day you ride, the amount of traffic at a given hour, or the weather.
