Commuter routes

Hamburg builds “Velorouten” (also: Radrouten) to get easily from A to B in daily life – any time of the day and year. Construction is ongoing, but the routes are already often better than the most direct way.

Surroundings

Municipalities around Hamburg also develop priority cycle routes. “Cycle highways” (also: Radrouten Plus) are meant to interconnect the metropolitan area, but are currently in planning and aren't usable yet.
