Route Overview

Medium

Moderate

The EuroVelo 10 stretches nearly 8,000 kilometers from Denmark to Sweden, following the stunning Baltic Sea. Our Eurobike tours, however, focus on the German section of this iconic route, running from Flensburg to Usedom - just under 1,000 kilometers. The path doesn’t hug the coast continuously. Instead, it often veers inland, revealing hilly landscapes that are equally captivating.

Trail difficulty and conditions vary along the way. Some sections are gentle and ideal for families, while others are more challenging. Most of the route is paved, but cyclists should also be prepared for gravel roads, unpaved trails, or cobblestones.

The Most Beautiful Cities Along the Baltic Sea Cycle Path

The Hanseatic City of Lübeck

Lübeck’s cityscape is defined by its famous Brick Gothic architecture, giving it an irresistible historical charm. It’s easy to see why we chose Lübeck as the starting point for several Baltic Sea Cycle Path tours. Extra nights here are definitely recommended!

Wismar – A Charming Historic Town

Once a key Hanseatic city, Wismar ranks among the Baltic Sea’s most beloved destinations, thanks to its late-Gothic architecture and rich heritage. After wandering the old town, be sure to visit the three Gothic churches, the Bürgerhaus, and the Fürstenhof.

Stralsund – A Baltic Coast Highlight

Highlights include the German Oceanographic Museum, the Gorch Fock sailing training ship, the Stralsund Museum, and St. Mary’s Church. Stralsund’s recognition as a state-approved resort town adds even more appeal.

Flensburg – Germany’s Northernmost City

You may already know the famous sights of Flensburg, but there’s plenty more to discover. A walk along the Kapitänsweg reveals the city’s hidden gems. Don’t miss the Flensburg Brewery, where you can enjoy a refreshing local beer.

Usedom – The Delightful Sun Island

Partly shared with Poland, the island of Usedom is one of the sunniest spots in the Baltic Sea - and all of Germany. Known as the “Sun Island,” it’s the perfect place to extend your stay and soak up some of Germany’s most beautiful beaches.

The Most Scenic Stages on the Baltic Sea Cycle Path

Flensburg – Kappeln

The tour begins in Flensburg and first takes you through the picturesque Angeln region, nestled between the Schlei and Flensburg. Cycle along the Flensburg Fjord and soak in the stunning water views. The stage concludes at the impressive Renaissance Glücksburg Castle, one of Germany’s most beautiful moated castles, before continuing on to Kappeln. This stage covers approximately 60 kilometers.

Kappeln – Eckernförde

Today’s ride leads you from Kappeln through the idyllic Schwansen countryside, passing charming villages and impressive ancient burial mounds. Along the way, don’t miss the “Amanda” windmill, Schleswig-Holstein’s largest gallery-style Dutch windmill. After about 45 kilometers, you’ll arrive in Eckernförde, where the picturesque museum harbor and the quaint old town invite you to take a leisurely break.

Heiligenhafen – Neustadt in Holstein

Starting in Heiligenhafen, with its charming old town and historic salt warehouses, the route takes you through Großebrode and then to Grömitz, where the 400-meter-long pier offers stunning views over the Bay of Lübeck. The stage finishes in Neustadt in Holstein, covering about 60 kilometers through beautiful coastal scenery.

Lübeck – Groß Schwansee/Boltenhagen

After exploring Lübeck’s UNESCO-listed old town, including highlights like the Holstentor and the Buddenbrook House, the route continues for approximately 35–50 kilometers toward Boltenhagen. The distance varies depending on whether you take the ferry. In Travemünde, a stop at Germany’s oldest lighthouse is highly recommended before cycling along the Baltic coast through the Brooker Forest nature reserve to Boltenhagen, where you can enjoy spectacular views of the bay. Alternatively, you can spend the night in Groß Schwansee.

Groß Schwansee/Boltenhagen – Wismar

Cycling mostly along the shoreline, you’ll cover roughly 30–45 kilometers to reach the beautiful Hanseatic city of Wismar. Known as one of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern’s most picturesque towns, Wismar invites a leisurely stroll through its historic old town. Don’t miss the harbor and the stunning market square, with its impressive historic buildings - definitely a highlight!

Zingst/Barth – Stralsund

On the final stage, enjoy 45–55 kilometers of relaxed cycling with the wind at your back and the fresh sea breeze in the air as you make your way to the Hanseatic city of Stralsund. From afar, the three striking white towers welcome you. The historic significance of this former trading hub is still evident today. End your journey with an evening in the beautifully preserved old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site celebrated for its charm.
