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 most of its length, sometimes running on a road for automobiles, and sometimes with its own path, which may or may not run parallel to an auto road. A few stretches of the route, for example between Neustrelitz and Waren, are unpaved and can thus be difficult for cyclists without a mountain bike or under certain weather conditions. Distinctive signs mark the route at most junctions. The route passes through the following towns:
