Reading Berlin’s former border by bicycle

The Wall Trail turns a vanished barrier into a connected route through memorials, neighborhoods and open space.

Tour de Fun editorial

Cycling the Berlin Wall Trail is less about following a visible wall than noticing what replaced it. Memorials, paving lines, watchtowers and sudden green corridors reveal the former border in fragments. A bicycle is well suited to that scale: fast enough to connect distant sites, slow enough to stop when the city’s layers become visible.
