INCLUDED
NOT INCLUDED
This Hamburg to Copenhagen bike tour joins two great port cities by way of the western Baltic, and three UNESCO World Heritage sites mark the route: the Speicherstadt in Hamburg, the old town of Lübeck and the chalk cliff of Stevns Klint.
Between them the scenery changes every day or two. The Holsteinische Schweiz brings lakes and beech woods, the coast beyond Lütjenburg brings beaches and piers, and after the ferry the Danish islands of Lolland, Falster and Møn spread out flat, with church towers and windmills as the highest points in sight.
History runs along the whole way. Lübeck was the leading city of the Hanseatic League, the merchant network that controlled Baltic trade for centuries, and its St. Mary's Church became the model for brick Gothic churches around the sea. On the Danish side, medieval town gates, frescoed village churches and Stone Age graves sit beside the route.
The riding is flat to gently rolling, with the most climbing among the Holstein lakes and the longest stage at Stevns. Two ferries belong to the journey: the Scandlines ship across the Fehmarn Belt and, in summer, the little boat from Falster to Bogø. Tickets for both, and for the train out of Hamburg, are paid on the spot.
You sleep in hand-picked hotels with breakfast, and your luggage goes ahead on every riding day, the ferry crossing included. The digital guidebook covers each stage, and trains can shorten the longest days.
Starting in Berlin instead? Our Berlin to Copenhagen bike tour crosses from Rostock and shares the final two days. Choose your dates, and we'll prepare the route from the Elbe to the Øresund.
Carefully selected 3- and 4-star hotels, guesthouses, and B&Bs, all with private en-suite rooms and breakfast included. Expect comfortable, well-appointed rooms with attentive hospitality, typically in convenient and scenic locations — some properties also offer on-site dining.
