Cycling holidays at the Baltic Sea in Schleswig-Holstein

Cycling holidays in Schleswig-Holstein are something very special. The sun sparkles on the Baltic Sea. Seagulls make their circles and the wind puts a light touch of salt on your skin.

Flensburg, Kiel and Lübeck are the largest cities in Schleswig-Holstein. All three cities have a very special harbor atmosphere. Maritime museums, many shopping opportunities, and beautiful old towns with many impressive buildings make a visit to the northern German cities a real experience. Moonlike seaside resorts, modern promenades, fine bathing beaches, and wild natural beaches accompany you on your cycling tour along the Baltic Sea coast. Cycle inland past numerous lakes, through dense green forests and hilly landscapes. You will discover the Baltic Sea region in a whole new way. Experience the charm of northern German country life in the villages of Holstein Switzerland. Farmland interrupted by fjords, thatched houses, old churches, stately castles, and manor houses are very common in this region. The Baltic Sea region shows itself at its best in Schleswig-Holstein. A cycling tour here is a real pleasure.

Our classic is the cycle tour on the Baltic Sea Cycle Route in Schleswig-Holstein from Flensburg to Lübeck. Your cycling holiday along the coast begins in the very north of Germany and takes you to the Hanseatic city of Lübeck. You cycle through a hilly landscape interrupted by fjords. Numerous windmills, manor houses, and stately homes dominate the coastal hinterland. You have time for a leisurely swim and a fish sandwich or two straight from the cutter.

Cycling from marzipan to rum, the journey takes you from the Hanseatic city of Lübeck through the slightly hilly Holstein Switzerland to Flensburg. Cycle along the Baltic Sea cycle path to the Danish border. Taste freshly caught fish in idyllic fishing villages and climb Germany's oldest lighthouse. Wide landscapes in the hinterland, steep coasts, and beautiful sandy beaches are the perfect combination on this tour with the historic harbor towns.

From Lübeck to Heiligenhafen, the cycle tour takes you through Holstein Switzerland. You will explore the varied and surprisingly hilly hinterland. Characteristic of this region are the many lakes, meadows and rivers, the small wooded areas and the farmland divided by curtilages. You will visit Eutin and the small town of Plön and take a boat trip on the Great Plön Lake. At the end of the cycle tour, enjoy the fresh breeze on the beautiful sandy beaches of the Bay of Lübeck.
