Bikepacking da Flensburgo a Lubecca

Get ready for a classic northern German adventure: cycling from Flensburg down to Lübeck! You’ll be rolling through about 204 km of mostly paved roads, with gentle hills (maximum elevation is just 78 meters) and a good mix of quiet country paths (the route is nearly 80% on dedicated paths). Expect green fields, sleepy villages, and plenty of Baltic coastal charm.

Flensburg is a seafaring town right on the Danish border, known for its harbor, historic old town, and iconic rum tradition. As you pedal south, you'll pass through small towns and open countryside—this ride is all about soaking up rural Schleswig-Holstein. There are a few gentle climbs (total ascent is a manageable 1,080 meters), but nothing to scare off recreational cyclists.

Your destination, Lübeck, is a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its medieval Altstadt, brick Gothic architecture, and, of course, marzipan. The surface is mostly smooth asphalt, although you might hit some short gravel stretches, so wider tires are a plus.

Bring some snacks, admire the softly rolling scenery, and finish with a stroll through Lübeck’s old city gate, the Holstentor. Enjoy the ride!
