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.

Famous quotes containing the words cycle and/or route:
“The cycle of the machine is now coming to an end. Man has learned much in the hard discipline and the shrewd, unflinching grasp of practical possibilities that the machine has provided in the last three centuries: but we can no more continue to live in the world of the machine than we could live successfully on the barren surface of the moon.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
