EuroVelo 2 Capitals Route

Germany

In Germany, the EuroVelo 2 passes through natural surroundings, and offers versatile opportunities for both new experiences and relaxation. From Vreden on the Dutch border, the route leads through Münsterland, Teutoburg Forest, the Weser Hills, the Harz mountain range, Fläming nature park, Märkische Schweiz and Oderbruch inland delta to Küstrin-Kietz on the Polish border. The route traverses the stunning Weser and Saale riverscapes, and takes cyclists past the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve, along with a number of other UNESCO World Heritage Sites and the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
