Cycling day trip from Ostseebad Boltenhagen to Travemünde

This scenic cycling route takes you from the charming seaside town of Ostseebad Boltenhagen to the historic harbor district of Travemünde, covering just over 34 kilometers of North German coastline. Boltenhagen is known for its classic beach promenade and iconic stretches of white sand—consider a quick dip before you set off! You’ll mostly roll along paved and asphalt paths, weaving through peaceful villages, gentle woodlands, and occasional stretches of open countryside.

There’s about 152 meters of ascent, but it’s all pretty gentle, so you can relax and enjoy the Baltic breeze. Expect a nice mix of quiet roads and scenic paths, with a sprinkle of gravel to add a touch of adventure (but nothing too wild). As you approach Travemünde, you’ll catch sight of grand ferries and old lighthouses from afar—don’t miss a stroll along the Trave river once you’ve arrived. With both towns offering classic seaside vibes, fresh fish sandwiches, and plenty of spots to relax, this ride is perfect for a leisurely day out by the water.
