Cycling day trip from Lübeck to Travemünde

Lübeck to Travemünde Bike Ride

Starting your ride in the heart of Lübeck, famous for its medieval Old Town and signature marzipan, you’ll roll north through classic Schleswig-Holstein landscapes. This 22 km route gently winds past fields and charming villages, mostly sticking to quiet cycleways and smooth paved roads (so no need to worry about dodging too many cars!).

After leaving Lübeck’s historic spires behind, you’ll notice the air getting fresher as you approach the Baltic coast. The path isn’t too hilly—just gentle ups and downs—making it great for a relaxed pace. Expect a bit of gravel here and there, perfect for mixing things up.

Your destination, Travemünde, is a lively seaside resort known for its wide sandy beach and iconic lighthouse (Germany’s oldest on the Baltic!). Kick back with some fish and chips by the water or stroll along the bustling promenade. Whether you’re in it for the scenery, the fresh sea breeze, or a beachside treat, this is a rewarding ride with a big Baltic finish.
