Cycling holidays at the North Sea

Open spaces, wind and the Wadden Sea – cycling holidays on the North Sea coast

Moin, Moin and a warm welcome to your cycling tour along the North Sea!

Beyond the dyke lies the vast expanse of the sea; behind it, the seemingly endless green landscape of meadows and pastures. With a salty breeze in your face, you’ll set off on your cycling tour along the North Sea. The land of the Frisians stretches out before you, as flat as a sheet of paper. Charming brick villages with thatched-roof houses and magnificent buildings from the Hanseatic era provide the backdrop for a cycling tour along the North Sea. Striped lighthouses and scattered sheep dot the countryside between the villages, which mark out the stages of the route.

The untameable forces of the sea have shaped the inhabitants of Germany’s North Sea coast just as much as the people have shaped the landscape. A warm-hearted nature and an unshakeable serenity have developed from living in harmony with the tides.
