Berlin & Copenhagen

Good S-Bahn connection from/to Berlin-Mitte.

You cycle from Oranienburg along the Havel waterway to Zehdenick. In the Mildenberg Museum Park you will experience industrial history at first hand in what was once Europe's largest brickworks area. You stay in Zehdenick or Fürstenberg.

The Mecklenburg Lake District begins at the "Great Stechlin", immortalised in literature by Th. Fontane. On the tour to Neustrelitz you pass a number of smaller and larger lakes. The destination is the former royal seat of Neustrelitz. The castle park, the star-shaped market square and the town layout are testimonies to the history of the Grand Duchy of Strelitz.

The stage leads through the Müritz National Park. It is the largest land national park in Germany. This extensive protected area is a refuge for our endangered flora and fauna. In the H. Schliemann Museum in Ankershagen, the work of the Troy discoverer comes to life. Cycle leisurely to the spa town of Waren/Müritz.

You leave the lively town of Waren/Müritz, the Nossentiner Heide National Park awaits you with extensive woodlands and clear lakes. The Barlach town of Güstrow is soon reached. You should plan a sightseeing tour of the historic old town, the castle and Ernst Barlach's studio.

Today you cycle along the Bützow-Güstrow Canal to Rostock. On this stage, you can also travel to Rostock by train (on your own) from various stations.

By bike to the ferry port of Rostock approx. 12 km. The ferry crossing to Gedser (incl.) takes approx. 2 hours. On the Danish side, enjoy the beautiful route over dikes and through small woods along Falster's most beautiful beaches.

Always along the coast, you cycle through easy terrain to the old merchant town of Stubbekøbing. Take the ferry (on your own) to the island of Bogø or alternatively cycle via Vordingborg to Kalvehave to the island of Møn.

Across the bridge from Møn to Zealand. Country houses and manor houses, surrounded by farmland, characterise the landscape. Fakse Ladeplads is approx. 55 km away, and Rødvig with its fascinating cliffs approx. 75 km. If you stay overnight in Rødvig, you will have reached your destination. If you stay overnight in Køge, you can take the train from both places (on your own). Sporty cyclists can continue cycling and cover the entire distance of approx. 107 km to Køge.

If you have spent the night in Rødvig, today's stage leads along the beaches. From the village church in Højerup you have a unique view of the chalk coast "Stevns Klingt".
