Cycling day trip from Wismar to Rostock

This is a beautiful coastal ride connecting two vibrant Hanseatic cities! Starting in Wismar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its stunning Brick Gothic architecture and lively harbor, you’ll pedal northeast toward Rostock. The route covers about 77 km and is mostly paved—expect smooth riding with just a few stretches of old-world paving stones to keep things interesting.

Most of your route unfolds along bike paths and quiet country roads, letting you soak up Baltic Sea breezes and peaceful rural scenery. Expect gentle hills with around 320 meters of overall ascent—nothing too tough, just enough for a pleasant ride.

Your journey ends in Rostock, a dynamic university town famous for its medieval city center and proximity to Warnemünde beach. Enjoy a well-earned coffee in the historic old town or explore the riverside before you call it a day. It’s a classic North German adventure—charming towns, open landscapes, and Baltic allure around every bend!
