The Berlin-Copenhagen Cycle Route (German: Radfernweg Berlin-Kopenhagen) is a 630-km cycle route that connects the German and Danish capital cities. The German portion of the route, between Berlin and Rostock, is approximately 370 kilometers; the Danish portion, between Gedser and Copenhagen, is approximately 260 kilometers. Between Rostock and Gedser, cyclists must take a ferry.
The route is paved for the majority of its length, sometimes running on a road for automobiles, but most of the time its own path, which may or may not run parallel to an auto road. A very few stretches of the route, for example between Neustrelitz and Waren, are not paved but perfectly acceptable to ride over with an average road or hybrid bicycle. Under certain weather conditions these unpaved roads might require special attention while riding over. Distinctive signs mark the route at most junctions but acquiring a route map to keep on the journey or a GPS navigation device loaded with the route (available through the official site) is recommended.

“The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower.”
—Robert M. Pirsig (b. 1928)
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
