Most of your ride is on nice, paved or asphalt surfaces, with a pleasant mix of quiet roads and bike paths, so you won’t be jostling with heavy traffic.

You’ll gently climb and descend a little less than 80 meters, which adds a bit of variety, but nothing too taxing.

Don’t forget to grab a quick photo along the way—the route gives you a real taste of Schleswig-Holstein charm with open fields, leafy lanes, and glimpses of the coast nearby. Once in Kiel, treat yourself to a coffee by the fjord!
