Sun, wind, dykes and the flat marshland landscape - all of this already awakens vacation feelings. However, you will experience much more on your cycle tour through Schleswig. The Wadden Sea and St. Peter-Ording with its long sandy beach await you on the North Sea coast. The multifaceted Baltic Sea coast attracts visitors with its steep coasts, wind and water mills and lively towns. In between are wide, flat cycle paths, small villages and venerable manor houses. Follow in the footsteps of the Vikings and seafarers. Haithabu, the trading center from the Viking Age and the large ships on the Kiel Canal are impressive sights. The overnight stops on your cycle tour through Schleswig are mostly small, cozy towns, each with its own charm. Stroll through the picturesque alleyways, marvel at the typical thatched-roof houses and visit typical local restaurants. You must try regional delicacies such as sour roll or Labskaus. Add to this a Pharisäer or Küstennebel and you are ready for the next stage of your cycle tour through Schleswig.

Round trip through Schleswig

Day 1: Individual journey to Husum

The picturesque town of Husum is the ideal starting point for your cycle tour through Schleswig. The changing tides, which you can experience up close in the middle of the town, are already a sight to behold. Stroll through the narrow streets and alleyways lined with pretty gabled houses. There are numerous restaurants and cafés around the harbor. Get in the mood for your cycle tour through Schleswig in a maritime ambience.

Day 2: Husum - Schleswig, approx. 45 km

Leaving the North Sea, you cycle along the Eider-Treene-Sorge path to Hollingstedt. Here you will find the largest archaeological monument in Northern Europe from the Viking era. The trading center of Haithabu and the ramparts of the Danewerk. You will soon have reached your destination for the day - the charming little town of Schleswig. Situated directly on the banks of the Schlei, you can refresh yourself with a dip in the cool water or go on a discovery tour. Gottorf Castle, the baroque garden and the giant globe are certainly worth a visit.

The long arm of the Baltic Sea, as the Schlei is known, accompanies you on today's stage of your cycle tour through Schleswig. There are numerous pretty towns between Schleswig and the transition to the open sea. Take a break in Arnis, the smallest town in Germany, and enjoy the maritime flair. Another short stretch in the saddle and you will reach Kappeln. Discover the largest Dutch mill in the state, the herring fence and the museum harbor.

Day 4: Kappeln - Eckernförde, approx. 45 km

You cycle across the Schwansen peninsula to the Baltic seaside resort of Damp. If you've never looked out to sea from a beach chair, you can do so on Damp's four-kilometre-long sandy beach. Continue through unspoiled nature, past old avenues, over gentle hills and green forests to Eckernförde. Spend the evening at the idyllic harbor with its beautiful promenade. Be sure to try the freshly caught fish in one of the cozy restaurants.

Day 5: Eckernförde - Rendsburg, approx. 40 km

On today's stage of your cycle tour through Schleswig, you have to decide. Are your legs still fit enough? Then cycle along the coast towards Kiel. Shortly before the capital of Schleswig-Holstein, the Kiel Canal flows into the sea. It is one of the busiest waterways in the world. It passes numerous bridges, locks and ships. Alternatively, you can take the shortcut through the inland, crossing forests, fields and moors.
