By bicycle from Cuxhaven to Nordholz

Hop on your bike in Cuxhaven, a charming seaside town where the North Sea meets the Elbe River—it’s famous for its sandy beaches and as a gateway to the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea. From here, you’ll roll out on a mostly paved route (nice smooth stretches and a dash of historical paving stones) heading south toward Nordholz.

Most of your ride will be on peaceful paths and quiet country roads, ideal for soaking in the North German scenery: think lush dikes, grazing sheep, windmills, and maybe glimpses of ships in the distance. The route stays almost flat, with gentle rises and drops, keeping it fairly easygoing.

Nordholz, your destination, is a tranquil village known for its aviation museum and proximity to the big skies of the Cuxhaven Heath. Whether you’re out for fitness or leisure, this ride offers fresh coastal air and a relaxed rural vibe—the perfect way to experience the region between coast and countryside!
