Two European metropolises, two capitals, and in between 650 km to travel by bicycle, along a stretch of Eurovelo 7, the Central European cycle path that connects the North Cape in Norway to Malta.
Eurovelo 7: by bike from Berlin to Copenhagen
Despite the long journey ahead, the Berlin-Copenhagen by bike is not an extreme journey: the route is as interesting as it is fascinating and crosses two of the best organized countries ever for cycle tourism. The signage is excellent (it is among the first things that the regions concerned thought of: Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and eastern Denmark), the facilities are equally excellent (between MTB-tours in Copenhagen and Fahrradstation in Berlin there is a agreement whereby you can rent the bike in one country and leave it in the other) and the roads are generally well maintained.
Considering that the journey is mostly smooth, it can be done in less than two weeks, covering around fifty km per day: ideally we always start from the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin (or you get there, if you want to travel from north to south) and from here you head north crossing the Mecklenburg lake area to Rostock, from where ferries leave for Denmark.

Spoiler: we send few, but good ones!
Once disembarked you will find beaches and white cliffs dotted with fishing villages and then the Danish countryside to the cycling paradise of Copenhagen.
Warning: the route is very popular, e.g especially in summer the accommodation facilities are booked well in advance (particularly the cheaper ones such as hostels, B&Bs and single rooms). A travel tent to settle on the fly in one of the numerous well-equipped Danish campsites is certainly a good option.
