Quick ride by bicycle from Lübeck to Selmsdorf

This ride takes you from the charming Hanseatic city of Lübeck to the peaceful village of Selmsdorf. Starting in Lübeck, you’ll be rolling out from a town famous for its stunning Brick Gothic architecture and marzipan (don’t forget to grab a treat for the ride!). The route is a comfortable 15.5 km, mostly on smooth asphalt and paved cycleways—so it’s a relaxed spin for riders of all levels.

You'll gain just under 100 meters of elevation, with some easy ups and downs to keep things interesting, but nothing too challenging. The ride is mostly on dedicated cycle paths and quiet roads, passing through a mix of gentle countryside and small local streets—ideal if you prefer a break from car traffic.

As you approach Selmsdorf, the landscape becomes more rural, and the pace of life slows right down. Selmsdorf is a small village in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, perfect for a breather or a look at authentic North German village life before heading back or continuing your journey. All in all, it’s a scenic and stress-free outing between two classic northern towns.
