Variety that surprises!

Embark on a voyage of discovery by bike along the North Sea Cycle Route and get to know the different regions and their highlights. And the route couldn't be richer in variety. After all, even though all the regions are characterised by their maritime flair, there are still plenty of surprises along the way. But why not see for yourself!

"And sometimes all you need is a break by the sea."

Where can you go?

  • Do you like fresh fruit, the idyllic countryside and a blossoming landscape along the heart of the Elbe's banks? Then visit the Altes Land. The largest continuous fruit-growing area in northern Europe lies at the gates of the continent.

  • The Holstein region is situated directly on the Elbe. Not only is it characterised by its location along the water, but also by the picturesque moorland, forest and heathland landscapes inland. The famous and delicious Glückstedt Matjes herring also has its origins here. 

  • Have you ever cycled to the rhythm of the tides? Not yet? Then experience the unique natural spectacle of ebb and flow up close on the North Sea coast of Lower Saxony and be captivated by the typical regional events!

  • Endless expanses, Nordic charm, white beaches and dyke landscapes - that's what characterises the Schleswig-Holstein North Sea coast. You'll be impressed by the flat landscape and the many possibilities.
