Overview

From the “Führerbunker” to the Berlin Wall – On the Trail of a Divided City.

Start your tour in Nikolaiviertel, five minutes from the TV Tower. Choose your bike and set off on a 15-kilometer journey filled with fascinating facts and little-known stories about Nazi-era and Cold War sites.

Follow the traces of the 20th century to landmarks like the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Straße, original East German watchtowers, and the areas planned for the Nazis’ unrealized dream city, “Germania.”

Your guide leads you through hidden corners, quiet streets, and scenic paths, bringing history vividly to life. Experience what life was like in the once-divided city. Discover why Hitler’s bunker (“Führerbunker”) is no longer accessible and explore the former Berlin Wall’s route, including ghost stations and underground bunkers.
