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.

“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
