<p dir="ltr">Wenn man aus Travemünde mal raus ist, beginnt eine schöne Tour. Ab Timmendorfer Strand aufpassen. Diese Route verläuft auf der Strandpromenade - Radfahren verboten! Geldstrafe und Punkte! Entweder schieben oder die Straße parallel dazu fahren.</p>

Abwechslungsreiche Runde. Es ist alles dabei, trubelige Küstenpromenade, ruhige Waldwege, kurze Schotterpassagen durch die Felder. Badestops sind am See oder natürlich Ostseestrand möglich.

Cycling Germany</a> - even after three decades, the Elbe remains a joy to ride and a brilliant example of how to do cycle tourism right - infrastructure, signage, information. Happy memories :)
