Berlin Wall & Cold War Bike Tour

Berlin Wall & Cold War Bike Tour

Berlin Wall & Cold War Bike Tour

The Berlin Wall - Dividing the City for 28 Years... Our Berlin Wall & Cold War Tour heads east along the monumental Karl-Marx-Allee before taking in the colorful Eastside Gallery and the powerful Treptower Park Memorial.

From there we continue through the no-man's-land deathstrip along the former Wall to visit checkpoints and hear tales of espionage and escape attempts.

We head away from the Mitte district and the pedestrian Cold War sights to take in more of the former East, more of the Wall, and more of what makes Berlin the unique city it is today.

By the end of this bike tour, you will:
~ Have a thorough understanding of all the contributing factors that led up to the building of the Berlin Wall
~ Understand why the powers in the West let the Berlin Wall be built
~ Grasp what life was like on both sides of the Wall during its 28 years
~ Realize the domino effect that eventually led to the downfall of the Wall on November 9, 1989
~ See how Berlin is still dealing with the scars of its past

A partial list of highlights include:

~ Numerous detailed anecdotes of escape attempts and techniques, many on-site where they actually took place.
~ Visiting the imposing Treptower Park Soviet Cenotaph. This is sure to be one of the most impressive sights on your European vacation. More than 5000 fallen Soviet troops are buried here and the materials lining the memorial are the finest of Stalinist propaganda. It's off the beaten tourist path - yet quite accessible by bike - and not to be missed.
~ Passing no less than 3 checkpoints between the former East and West and seeing where escape attempts took place at each of them.
~ Exploring the East Side Gallery, an almost mile-long stretch of still standing Wall, famous for its graffiti. Bring plenty of film or digital camera memory!
~ Hearing about bizarre encounters such as why a group once escaped from the West into the East and how East Berlin attained the piping that sat atop the Berlin Wall.
~ Retracing more than 5km of where the Wall stood to understand the differences still existing between East and West Berlin.
~ Cruising along Karl-Marx-Allee, East Berlin's massive model "Champs Elysees", and understanding the differences between communist ideals and the starkly contrasting reality.
~ Seeing where the failed escape of Peter Fechter took place and understanding how this vivid incident changed the world's perception of the Berlin Wall.
~ Relaxing for a picnic in Treptower Park to eat and to plug in your guide for even more information. (Food and drink not included in the tour price).

~ Tours run in all weather. Rain ponchos are available, should they be needed.
~ For the cold days below 50F/10C we provide free hot tea on the tour and free gloves for use during the tour.
