Our most beautiful regions and cycle routes in northern Germany

Weser Cycle Path

The Weser Cycle Path begins in Hann. Münden, winding north along the river through charming half-timbered towns and sweeping landscapes. On the classic route from Hann. Münden to Bremen, you’ll visit the baroque town of Bad Karlshafen, follow in the footsteps of the legendary Baron Münchhausen, and explore the vibrant Hanseatic city of Bremen. If you prefer a more relaxed pace, take a closer look at the Weser Cycle Path Epicure. This cycling vacation leads you through the enchanting Weser Uplands all the way to the North Sea coast in Cuxhaven.

Baltic Sea Cycle Path

Beaches, fresh Baltic Sea air, and historic Hanseatic cities make the Baltic Sea Cycle Path a truly special cycling experience in northern Germany. Good to know: The nearly 1,000-kilometer German section from Flensburg to Usedom is part of EuroVelo 10, which circles the entire Baltic Sea. On our cycling tours, you’ll explore handpicked stretches of the coast and enjoy the vibrant blend of sea, nature, and culture. While you cycle the Baltic Sea Cycle Path I from Flensburg to Lübeck through Schleswig-Holstein, the Baltic Sea Cycle Path II reveals the diverse coastal landscapes of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

What our Guests say

We enjoyed a wonderful and adventure-filled cycling tour along the Weser, from Hann. Münden to Bremen. Everything was perfectly organized, the accommodations and rental bikes were just right. The weather was on our side, so we could truly soak in the nature and each stop along the way.

Rainer M.

We visited the Baltic Sea for the first time and were absolutely captivated by the scenery. The landscape between the Baltic Sea and the Bodden, especially Fischland, Darß, and Zingst, is simply stunning!

Franz-Peter Nahrings

We had a fantastic time in Northern Germany. The coastal routes were especially impressive, and the Loop Tour on the island of Sylt was a real highlight.

Useful Information about your cycle tour in northern Germany

The climate in northern Germany

Northern Germany is shaped by the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, and its ever-present winds. Westerly breezes bring mild winters and pleasantly temperate summers. During the summer months, temperatures usually hover just above 20 degrees, making it ideal for cyclists. Of course, even the far north can experience heat waves, but the wind makes them easy to handle. It’s true, there’s quite a bit of rain in Northern Germany, but as the saying goes, there’s no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong gear. And here’s a classic tip for all cyclists: the wind is always in your face! With that in mind, we wish you uplifting days in beautiful Northern Germany.

The cuisine in northern Germany

North German cuisine is hearty and down-to-earth, deeply influenced by the region’s maritime heritage. Even today, locals love dishes made with nourishing, long-lasting ingredients. Beetroot, kale, thick sausages, and cured meats are especially popular. But the true centerpiece of North German cuisine is, without a doubt, fish.

The Hanseatic

Everyone’s heard the term “Hanseatic city,” but what does it really mean? The word “Hanse” comes from Old High German and originally meant “group.” The Hanseatic League was founded around the 12th century as an alliance of seafaring merchants. Their goal was to optimize trade both within Germany and abroad. Lübeck and Hamburg were the first Hanseatic cities in Germany.

Did you know...

  • that Hamburg is home to 8 billionaires and 859 millionaires, based on income?
  • that the highest peak in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern stands at just 179.2 meters.
  • that there are currently 25 Hanseatic cities in Germany, most of them in the north. Until 1990, there were only three: Hamburg, Bremen, and Lübeck.
  • that in Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and Schleswig-Holstein, Low German is offered as an elective subject in schools.
