Pedal the Baltic Coast Cycle Path east from Lübeck to Stralsund to discover the stunning redbrick legacies of medieval Hanseatic League merchants, chic seaside resorts and the sheer natural beauty of Germany’s ‘Ostseeküste’. Spin out from Schleswig-Holstein via Lübeck’s iconic Holsten Tor gate and the super-elegant spa town of Travemünde, before pointing your handlebars properly east through Mecklenburg’s wild and wonderful dune-scapes. In no time at all, you’ll be ticking off the Hanseatic harbour towns of Wismar and Rostock, numerous lighthouses, the striking white spa town of Heiligendamm, and Doberan minster’s amazing astronomical clock! The Ribnitz Damgarten amber museum may be full of Baltic gems, but nothing beats the beauty of Western Pomerania’s treasure islands, lagoon landscapes and wildlife-rich Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula. Breathtaking light, land and seascapes; four UNESCO World Heritage Hansa harbour towns; nature reserves full of birdlife – best have binoculars packed uppermost in the bike panniers on this tour!
