Quick ride by bicycle from Malente to Eutin

This is a lovely little ride connecting Malente and Eutin in the heart of Holstein Switzerland—a scenic, lake-dotted region in Schleswig-Holstein. You’ll cover just over 7 km, making it perfect for a relaxed spin or a family outing. The route is mostly on quiet paths and roads, with hardly any busy traffic. Expect a mix of surfaces—some smooth asphalt, sections of gravel, and stretches without pavement, so a hybrid or sturdy city bike is a good choice.

Malente, your starting point, is famous for its lakes and spas—grab a coffee by the Dieksee before you set off! The route rolls gently, with slightly more uphills than downhills, but nothing too dramatic. After an easy cruise through the countryside, you’ll arrive in Eutin, a charming town known for Eutin Castle and pretty market squares. Why not park your bike and wander a bit before heading back?
