Baltic Coast Cycle Route, Schleswig-Holstein
Cycling along the Baltic Coast between Flensburg and Lübeck
The Baltic coast of Schleswig-Holstein, between Flensburg in the north and Lübeck in the south, together with its hinterland, is a very popular destination for cycle tourists who have discovered this kind of active holiday on the Baltic Sea. There is plenty to discover here, in addition to the benefits that cycling itself offers as a combination of getting around, enjoyment and staying healthy.
Bicycle maps and cycling guidebooks, which we present here, are indispensable aids for exploring the area. The Baltic Coast Cycle Route runs along the entire Baltic coast of Schleswig-Holstein, continuing from Cape Skagen at Denmark’s northern tip to Ahlbeck on the island of Usedom in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, near the Polish border. From there, connecting routes lead to the eastern Baltic coasts of Poland and the Baltic states.
