In bici da Altenholz a Kiel

This scenic ride takes you from Altenholz, a peaceful town just north of Kiel, right into the heart of the vibrant port city itself. The 12-kilometer route is mostly paved—expect smooth asphalt for about two-thirds of the journey, with occasional stretches of paving stones and concrete. You’ll cruise through leafy paths (about 80% of your trip!) and quiet roads, making it ideal for a relaxing spin without much traffic.

Starting out in Altenholz, known for its lush surroundings and close-knit feel, you'll glide gently southward with a net descent towards Kiel. There's just enough of a rise and fall—about 50 meters up and 70 meters down—to keep things interesting without breaking a sweat.

As you approach Kiel, you’ll notice the energy pick up. Kiel is famous for its maritime heritage—don’t be surprised if you spot a passing ferry or the distant masts of sailing ships. If you’re heading to the inner city, maybe reward yourself with a coffee along the fjord!

Perfect for a relaxed but engaging day ride.
