Cycling

Schleswig-Holstein is a cyclist’s paradise - great expanses of flat countryside, 13 well established long-distance cycle paths and a strong tailwind.

Pedalling on the North Sea dykes with views over the Wadden Sea, you can gaze at the cliffs on the Baltic coast, cycle round idyllic lakes, use your GPS to guide you on a scavenger hunt or take a rest in shady woodlands – in the land between the seas there is so much for cyclists of every age to discover.
