Around the Kienberg and along the Wuhle

Familymostly away from motor trafficmeets the criteria for riding with children

Just under nine kilometres of loop in the east, around the Kienberg hill and along the Wuhle. Two sets of traffic lights, no crossing without them — and the only family route in the starting set with slight climbs.

  • Finish U-Bahnhof Kienberg, Marzahn-Hellersdorf — Loop – start and finish are at the same place
  • Along the way Kienbergpark, Wuhleteich, Wuhlewiesen Richtung Biesdorf, Kienbergterrassen, Rückweg am Wuhleufer
  • Length 8.8 km
  • Typical duration 55 minutes (measured at a relaxed pace with short stops, not the output of a route planner)
  • Surface Asphalt, compacted gravel
  • Gradient gently undulating
  • Lighting partly lit
  • Season March to October
  • Districts Marzahn-Hellersdorf

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

meets the criteria for riding with children

  • The route is separated from motor traffic throughout – no section forces you to ride in traffic.
  • There are only a few crossings, and those there are have a traffic light, a central island or clear sightlines.
  • 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.
  • A publicly accessible toilet lies on the route.

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 loop starts at Kienberg U-Bahn station, runs through the Kienberg park to the Wuhle pond and on across the Wuhle meadows towards Biesdorf, before returning along the Wuhle bank. 93 per cent of the route is separated from motor traffic and 85 per cent lies in parkland and meadow.

Both main-road crossings have traffic lights. The route meets the published children's criteria except for one: it is not level throughout, because the Kienberg brings slight climbs with it. That is stated here rather than disappearing into a blanket assessment.

What you should know beforehand

The Wuhle meadows stand under water in places after heavy rain, which is why the season is given as March to October. The Gardens of the World are a separate, ticketed site and are not part of this route. 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.
