Quick ride by bicycle from Otterndorf to Cuxhaven

This relaxing ride takes you from the quaint town of Otterndorf to the vibrant North Sea port city of Cuxhaven—perfect for an easy day on two wheels! You'll roll out from Otterndorf's historic old town, known for its pretty half-timbered houses and close proximity to the Elbe river. The journey is almost entirely flat (hardly any hills in sight!) and covers about 20 kilometers, with most of your path paved and, for the most part, smoothly asphalted.

Pedal along mostly peaceful bike paths, enjoying wide-open views of lush green fields and occasionally glimpsing the dikes that protect this low-lying North Sea coast. Once you cruise into Cuxhaven, take time to explore the bustling harbor, check out the famous Kugelbake (where the Elbe meets the North Sea), and maybe treat yourself to some fresh seafood.

With hardly any climbs and lots of smooth surfaces, this is an ideal route for all skill levels—whether you’re out for a leisurely tour or just want to feel the sea breeze for an afternoon!
