By bicycle from Bad Schwartau to Lübeck

Enjoy an easy ride from the spa town of Bad Schwartau to the historic heart of Lübeck! This roughly 7.8 km cycle makes for a relaxed outing, especially with mostly paved and smooth surfaces—great for pretty much any bike.

You’ll begin in Bad Schwartau, known for its mineral springs and as the “jam capital” of Germany, thanks to the iconic fruit preserves made here. Heading south, the route weaves along safe cycleways and quiet roads, with just a few gentle ups and downs (don’t worry—the biggest hill is only about 19 meters high!).

Before you know it, you’ll roll right into Lübeck, famous for its medieval Old Town and gorgeous brick Gothic architecture—perfect for a post-ride wander and maybe a marzipan treat. This leisurely route combines the best of small-town charm and historic city vibes. Happy cycling!
