Quick ride by bicycle from Travemünde to Scharbeutz

Set off from the seaside charm of Travemünde, famed for its historic lighthouse (the oldest on Germany’s Baltic coast!) and lively promenade, and enjoy a leisurely 14 km ride northwest to the beach town of Scharbeutz. Most of the route is on smooth asphalt and quiet roads, weaving through peaceful coastal scenery with just a gentle rise and fall—the total ascent is only about 59 meters—so your legs will thank you.

Paved paths and a dash of paving stones keep your ride easygoing; with almost no gravel or unpaved stretches, it’s a stress-free cruise. You’ll pass lush green countryside and maybe catch a glimpse of the Baltic Sea glittering to your right. Once you reach Scharbeutz, reward yourself with a dip in the water or an ice cream on the lively seafront, a favorite with locals and visitors alike. Perfect for a relaxing half-day out!
