The Tour

Cycle Tour in Holstein - Holstein Switzerland

The area known as Holstein Switzerland is one of the most popular holiday regions in northern Germany. The landscape bears the unmistakable marks of the last Ice Age – gently rolling hills alternate with glittering lakes, forests and fields divided by hedgerows, as well as wide sandy beaches on the Baltic Sea that invite you to go for a swim. En route, you’ll come across many castles and manor houses. Towns such as Eutin and Plön and of course Lübeck, the start and end point of this cycle tour in Holstein, are well worth seeing. The route is sometimes a bit hilly, but this cycle tour in Holstein is also suitable for inexperienced cyclists.
