Cycle Tour from Lübeck to Flensburg

Flensburg, Germany’s northernmost city, situated right on the Danish border, is the perfect starting point for your cycle tour along the Baltic Sea. Once you’ve arrived, it’s well worth taking a stroll through the charming old town with its winding alleys, historic
merchants’ courtyards and the maritime atmosphere of this city on the fjord.

First, take the boat to Glücksburg. Take a look at the famous Renaissance castle here – one of Germany’s most beautiful moated castles – before cycling through the tranquil town of Angeln
.

You can reach the Baltic seaside resort of Damp via the Schwansen peninsula. Damp’s four-kilometre-long sandy beach offers you the chance to relax in a beach chair. The route continues through unspoilt countryside, past ancient tree-lined avenues, over rolling hills and through green woodlands to Eckernförde. Spend the evening at the idyllic harbour with its lovely promenade. Be sure to try the freshly caught fish in one of the cosy restaurants.

Today’s stage takes you to the Kiel Fjord, where the North-East Baltic Sea Canal meets the Baltic Sea. In Falckenstein or Friedrichsort you’ll make your first stop before taking the ferry to cross the fjord. You’ll disembark at Laboe and continue your journey straight away by bike. Cycling along the Baltic Sea coast of the Probstei, you’ll pass through the well-known seaside resorts of Kalifornien and Brasilien on your way to Schönberger Strand. Your route then heads inland, where you’ll eventually reach Schönberg.

You cycle back to the Baltic Sea coast and immerse yourself in the unspoilt nature of Schleswig-Holstein. The route takes you through former salt marshes and varied landscapes, past historic manor houses and the region’s characteristic ‘Knicks’ – traditional hedgerows that define the landscape of Schleswig-Holstein. Via Oldenburg in Holstein, you’ll eventually reach Heiligenhafen, where the fresh Baltic Sea air and the expansive beaches await you.

Today, your cycle tour takes you via Großenbrode on to the popular Baltic Sea resort of Grömitz. Here, the 400-metre-long pier invites you to take a stroll with a magnificent view across the Baltic Sea. On the eight kilometre-long sandy beach, you’re sure to find a lovely spot to unwind, enjoy the sun or take a refreshing dip in the Baltic Sea. You’ll then cycle along the coast to Neustadt in Holstein. This charming little harbour town served, amongst other things, as the setting for the well-known TV series ‘Küstenwache’ and delights visitors with its maritime flair.

In Travemünde, you can stop off at Germany’s oldest lighthouse. The seaside resorts of Timmendorfer Strand and Scharbeutz attract visitors with their wonderful sandy beaches and invite you to take a refreshing dip in the cool waters of the Baltic Sea. Along the way, you’ll enjoy fantastic views of Lübeck Bay and Neustadt Bay time and again.
