Giro veloce in bici da Mielkendorf a Rodenbek

A short, easy hop from Mielkendorf to Rodenbek that keeps things smooth and stress-free. Roll out of Mielkendorf—just southwest of Kiel and right by the green Eidertal—and you’ll be on mostly asphalt almost immediately. The route is nearly entirely paved and very flat (max around 24 m), with a friendly mix of bike paths and quiet country lanes, so any bike will do.

You’ll cruise past fields and small patches of woodland, with that calm, rural Schleswig-Holstein vibe. About half the way is on dedicated or shared paths, the rest on low-traffic roads, so it’s a relaxed ride without much need to think about cars.

Rodenbek is a tiny, peaceful hamlet surrounded by open countryside—perfect for a breather before looping back or continuing along the Eider valley. Ideal as a quick spin, a family outing, or a leg-stretcher from the edge of Kiel. If you want to add distance, link up with the Eidertal cycleways nearby for more quiet scenery.
