Tour
Take your time for a stroll through the Old town with its sights such as the Holsten Gate, the castle gate in the north of the old town and the many churches. You will find charming shops and specific locals in the lovely Old Town which is surrounded by harbour, ditches and ponds. Accommodation in Lübeck.
You leave the town and after a short time you reach Travemünde. The Baltic Sea bike way begins in the traditional Baltic Sea seaside resort at the 'Travemündung'. You get by ferry to Priwall and cycle through lovely landscape through the 'Klützer Winkel' to the seaside resort Boltenhagen. The bikeway leads along bluffs and beaches to the Bay of Wismar into the centre of the Hanseatic city Wismar. The old Hanseatic city is definitely one of the most beautiful in Mecklenburg Vorpommern. Glamour and power is reflected in the grand buildings of the once mightful Hanse. Accommodation in Wismar.
If this stage is too long for you, you can take the train from Lübeck to Travemünde (on your own) and cycle approx. 20 km less.
The Old Town of Wismar was fortunately hardly destroyed during the war - a stroll will be worth! You will be cycling through the "Kühlung", a landscape dominated by forests and valleys, to Kühlungsborn. Accommodation in Kühlungsborn or surroundings.
The landscape to Warnemünde stretches broad and flat. You cycle along the coast and it is optional to make a little detour to the museum train 'Molli' in Bad Doberan. Futher on you cycle comfortably through the back-country to Warnemünde. Accommodation in Rostock or Warnemünde.
The Warnow River meets the Baltic Sea in Warnemünde,. A stroll along the old major river, where old fishing boats and big yachts moor, will definitely be a nice experience. Along the embankment you will get to Wustrow and to the artists' colony Ahrenshoop. Accommodation on the "Fischland".
Through the "Darß Primeval Forest" you will today get to Prerow. You should definitely go for a trip to the west beach ("Weststrand") - a wild romantic coastal landscape awaits you! Now you will have to leave to discover the "Nationalpark Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft". In this national park are some of the most important stations for cranes and gray gooses. Accommodation in Prerow, Zingst or Barth.
You will leave the town and cycle along the "Barther Bodden" to Stralsund. The Haseatic city is already visible from afar because of its three towers. Accommodation in Stralsund.
Unfortunately, the journey is already over. You can simply leave your hire bikes at the hotel. For your return journey to Lübeck, we recommend our return transfer service, which can also be used to transport your private bikes. You can also easily reach Lübeck, the starting point of the tour, by train.
