By bicycle from Selmsdorf to Lübeck

This scenic cycling route takes you from the small town of Selmsdorf to the vibrant Hanseatic city of Lübeck. You’ll cover just over 15 km along mostly smooth, paved cycleways and quiet roads, so it’s a relaxing ride suitable for almost any level. There’s a gentle climb early on but nothing too challenging, and you’ll actually descend a bit more overall, making Lübeck your slightly lower destination.

Starting in Selmsdorf, you’ll quickly leave the quiet village charm behind and pedal through fields and small woodland areas as you approach Lübeck’s outskirts. The final stretch brings you into Lübeck, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its medieval Altstadt (Old Town) with its iconic Holstentor gate and red-brick Gothic buildings.

It’s a pleasant ride—expect mainly asphalt under your tires, with just a small bit of paving stones adding character to your journey. Ideal for a breezy morning or a leisurely afternoon, this route is a great way to combine small-town tranquility with the historical buzz of Lübeck!
