Bike Tour at the Baltic Sea

The old magnificent Hanseatic town was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 and simply radiates charm. Most people associate Lübeck with the Holsten Gate, marzipan and Thomas Mann. But there is much more to see: the crooked brick houses, alleyways and courtyards, the town hall. And the fish rolls on the banks of the Trave at sunset taste particularly good.

Today’s route take you from one Hanseatic city to the other. Having left Lübeck’s gates behind you, you cycle along the Baltic Sea cycle path through the idyllic Brooker Wald conservation area until you reach the spa town of Boltenhagen. Alongside swashbuckling steep cliffs, you always have a great view of the whole bay. Once in Wismar, you’ve reached today’s final destination – a charming historic centre with several Gothic red brick houses awaits. We highly recommend a short trip to the adjacent island of Poel.

From Wismar, you initially cycle on towards Kühlungsborn. Along the way you see both steep cliffs and perfect swimming beaches. In Bad Doberan you can take the resort train Molli to the best sandy beach. The Hanseatic city of Rostock impresses with its well-preserved historic centre right on the Warnow.

Today’s route takes you along the Baltic Sea coast to the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula. This 45 km peninsula offers – besides copious amounts of unspoiled nature and flat cycle paths – a dune range before Prerow, which, at 13 metres above sea level, offers unique views of the surrounding islands in clear weather. A bridge takes you back to the mainland, where you soon reach Barth.

On the Baltic Sea coast you cycle via Stralsund to Bergen, the largest German island. This region is visited every year by thousands of migratory birds, which take a rest before they start their long journey to the south. Another highlight of the tour is the Hanseatic city of Stralsund. Its three towers greet you from afar. Apart from the listed old town, you should definitely visit the museum for oceanography, fishing and aquariums.

On a direct route you cycle today from Stralsund to the Island of Rügen, where the Cape Arkona, one of the most popular excursion destinations on the island, is located. The second largest Baltic Sea island in Germany is also a very flat island with only 3 meters above sea level. Back on the neighboring Island of Rügen you will head for the coastal town of Breege. A dreamlike place far away from the hustle and bustle, where it will not be difficult to relax. Alternatively, there is also the possibility to spend the night in Glowe.

Your athletic bike tour at the Baltic takes you to Sassnitz. It is a state-recognised health resort on the Jasmund peninsula and offers culture and history, as well as beautiful landscapes - reasons enough to take a lunch break here. Back on your bike, the Baltic coast resorts along your way take you back to the 19th century. Classicist architectural elements, delicate wood carvings and long piers are the characteristics of the Baltic coast architecture.

The last stage of your bike tour on the Baltic Sea takes you back to Stralsund, the gate to the Island of Rügen. The route is well signposted and you will make good progress today, crossing the southern part of Rügen. Take a short break in Putbus – the castle gardens are particularly worth seeing. You should also get off your bike briefly in Altefähr, at the shore of the Strelasund lagoo. The view of Stralsund and the opposite shore is unique!

After completing the final stage of your bike tour at the Baltic Sea, you will depart from Stralsund today. If you wish we can extend your stay at the Baltic Sea!
