Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Lübeck à Wismar

This scenic ride takes you from the beautiful Hanseatic city of Lübeck all the way to coastal Wismar, following about 77 km of mostly paved and asphalt roads, sprinkled with some fun gravel stretches and the occasional charming paving stone. Both Lübeck and Wismar are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, famous for their Brick Gothic architecture and rich merchant history.

You’ll pedal through gently rolling countryside, with just enough ups and downs (about 313 meters of ascent) to keep things interesting, but nothing too taxing—max elevation is only 42 meters. The route is a nice mix of separate cycle paths (about half the way!), quiet rural roads, and the odd pretty village track.

On your way, soak in wide North German skies, a patchwork of green fields, and views of the Baltic coast. When you roll into Wismar, reward yourself with some fresh fish by the old harbor and a stroll through the cobbled market square. This route is a perfect day out for cyclists who love history, scenery, and a few easy adventures.
