Quick ride by bicycle from Grossenbrode to Heiligenhafen

This scenic cycling route takes you from the relaxed coastal town of Großenbrode to the charming harbor town of Heiligenhafen—two gems on the Baltic Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein. The ride is a leisurely 11 km, mostly along smooth paved paths and quiet roads, so you can really enjoy the fresh sea air. You’ll pedal past gentle fields, catch glimpses of the shoreline, and maybe spot a kite-surfer or two!

Großenbrode is a popular spot for beach holidays, while Heiligenhafen is known for its historic fishing harbor, lovely old town, and the modern pier stretching invitingly into the waves. There’s a bit of a climb here and there, but nothing too serious—just enough to give you some awesome sea views along the way.

With mostly asphalt under your wheels and the Baltic breeze at your back, this is an ideal ride for a summer morning, ending with some fresh fish rolls or ice cream by Heiligenhafen’s lively waterfront.
