December 15, 2023,2023-12-15, Von Kühlungsborn nach Heiligendamm. Weiter nach Bürgerende. Über Nienhagen und Elmenhorst nach Warnemünde und zurück.

With rented bikes we went along the water towards Warnemünde. Then towards the evening in total darkness we returned to Kühlungsborn with only our bike lights.

Very relaxed tour, always along the Baltic Sea. Mostly on or through the coastal forest. The path is very well developed everywhere. Lots of places to stop along the way. A bath in the Baltic Sea is always possible. It's just a pity that the bike path between Börgerende and Nienhagen is closed. The edge is working its way there.

June 1, 2023,Heiligendamm-Gespensterwald Nienhagen ab Hohe Düne Warnemünde

Start from the Hohe Düne car park (day ticket 5 €) at 14°C - felt 👎😖 and a stiff breeze 🌊, then take the ferry to Warnemünde. We had a strong headwind up to Heiligendamm, so we didn't extend the tour any further. Of course it was much easier back and from about 3 p.m. the 🌞 also dared to …

April 7, 2023,Warnemünde - Nienhagen - Gespensternwald 👻 - Heiligendamm ⛅️🌧️

Started the day with energy and sunshine. Despite the poor weather forecast, it was still very nice in the morning. So I rented an e-bike and then we started along the coast to Heiligendamm. I was able to wallow in holiday memories. The bike path doesn't actually go right there. This tour is more for walkers, at least until Nienhagen. …

September 6, 2026,Ein bisschen Ostsee schnuppern...von Warnemünde bis Kühlungsborn 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️

We drove by car to Hohe Düne and could park there for free! Took the ferry across to Warnemünde... it was very crowded there... just drove through! Continued through the forest always along the cliff with beautiful views in between! A section was closed... due to risk of collapse... but we drove through anyway... many others too! On the way …

The bike tour today was bombastic. Everything was just right - the weather was sunny, the air temperature at 12 ... 14 degrees was ideal for the tour and the nature was breathtaking. I wouldn't want to miss the holiday week in Kuehlungsborn!
Highly recommended!

Nice tour of the Baltic Sea, in the best weather from Warnemünde to Kuehlungsborn and back again. In the ghost forest on the steep coast you can enjoy the wonderful view of the Baltic Sea. 😊
