Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Cuxhaven à Bremerhaven

Set off from Cuxhaven, a charming North Sea town famous for its shrimp boats, beaches, and the start (or end!) of the Elbe River. This route takes you on a scenic 48 km ride south along the coast towards Bremerhaven, Germany’s port city known for its maritime history and huge container terminal.

It’s a mostly flat ride—just over 74 meters of gentle ascent—making it perfect for a relaxed day on the bike. You’ll glide mostly on paved and asphalt surfaces (over 70%), with about 20% of the route surface info missing, so expect the occasional surprise stretch. The path alternates nicely between dedicated cycle paths, quiet rural roads, and the occasional gravel track, offering a mix of fresh sea air and peaceful countryside.

Bremerhaven at the finish is worth a visit; check out the German Maritime Museum or the Klimahaus for a cool end to your journey. Don’t forget to grab some fresh fish for lunch! Whether you’re chasing sea breezes or local history, this ride delivers both.
