Great day tours

Numerous long-distance cycle routes lead through the true north. Would you like to try them out first? Here are some particularly beautiful individual stages

Baltic Sea Coast Cycle Route

From Flensburg to Kappeln, the first stage of the legendary Baltic Sea coastal cycle route has an almost Caribbean feel with its fine sandy beaches and shimmering turquoise water. Bathing stop? Absolutely! A stroll through Glücksburg and the delightful town of Kappeln with its museum harbor are also a great way to extend the five-hour tour.

Eider-Treene-Sorge cycle path

The section from Erfde via Pahlen to Lunden almost always runs alongside the water. A choice detour at the weekends would be to cross the Eider on the historic Bargen ferry, return to the cycle path in Delve and continue through dream landscapes of forest, meadows and moorland directly to Lunden.

Old salt road

Through the picturesque shipping town of Lauenburg to Lübeck with its magnificent town houses and the famous Holsten Gate, this stage of the old trade route is a little dream journey where you can spot cranes, storks and sea eagles in the moors, forests and wetlands.
