A great section of the Baltic Sea Cycle Route. Equally easy to ride in both directions. Combined cycle and footpath where mutual consideration is essential. If you feel like it, you can go to Laboe and then down to Kiel. Or you can go around the Kiel Fjord (day trip) and take the public transport ferry back to Laboe in Friedrichsdorf. Along the way, numerous restaurants with their delicacies invite you to take a break. The view of the beach, sea and ships is on top 👍

A beautiful, diverse and long beach. If you're lucky, you'll find a nice, quiet and clean corner in the dunes for an afternoon nap
