Baltic Sea Cycle Route

On this section of the Baltic Sea Cycle Path, you’ll visit the Hanseatic cities of Lübeck, Wismar, Rostock and Stralsund. You’ll experience untouched nature on the Fischland, Darß and Zingst peninsula, see beautiful villages with lots of Brick Gothic architecture and dig your toes into the finest white sandy beaches. The bike paths are good and the local cuisine is excellent. The beers you’ll taste in the evenings from one of the numerous local breweries will be well deserved. This Baltic Sea Cycle Route from Lübeck to Stralsund is also suitable for inexperienced cyclists.
