Steppenwolf: Berlin-Usedom-Berlin 2026

The Steppenwolf Berlin – Usedom – Berlin (BUB) is a non-commercial, self-supported bikepacking challenge across the terrain from Berlin to Usedom and back. With plenty of variety between technical trails in the Oderbruch, the beach promenade of Usedom, some nasty cobblestone sections, sandy passages in the Mark Brandenburg and several kilometres along Brandenburg’s lakes, the route takes you right across the ‘steppe’. The technically and physically more demanding Wildtrack is between 750 and 850 km long each year, while the Graveltrack is easier to ride and has a length of 550-600 km. There are three checkpoints along the way where you can also set up camp for the night. Whether alone or in a pack, to race at speed or as a personal challenge – the Steppenwolf is for everyone. It is not a classic bike race, but a wild ride between the metropolis and the sea that really challenges everyone.
