DAY 1: Arrival at Lübeck
Individual arrival into Lübeck. This town has a charming old town center (dominated by seven church steeples) perfect for an evening stroll. The oldest churches (the Dom and Marienkirche) are from the 13th and 14th centuries. The town has retained its medieval atmosphere complete with narrow streets and four town gates, of which the Holstentor (1478) is the best known. Situated on the Trave River, Lübeck has the largest German port on the Baltic Sea.
DAY 2: Lübeck - Wismar, 37 to 50 mi. (59 to 79 km)
You leave Lübeck on a short trip to Travemünde. You can do this 20 km trek either by bike or by train. Travemünde is a traditional Baltic seaside resort, where you start the "Baltic Bike Trail". You'll sail to Priwall and then ride through the peaceful landscape of Kluetzer Winkel to the seaside town of Boltenhagen. Along cliffs and small beaches, you'll leisurely move along the Wismarer Bucht to the old Hanse town Wismar. This charming town has impressive architecture that represents the strength and glory of the old Hanseatic period and is certainly one of the nicest towns in the Mecklenburg - West Pomerania region.
DAY 3: Wismar - Kühlingsborn, 26 mi. (42 km)
The historic part of Wismar was largely untouched during the attacks of WWII, so a bit of sightseeing is in order. Along the Kühlung, a richly forested and and hilly landscape, you'll cycle on to Kühlungsborn.
DAY 4: Kühlungsborn - Warnemünde/Rostock, 22 to 28 mi. (35 to 45 km)
Via the flat landscape of the Baltic coast, your cycling adventure will continue to Warnemünde, a seaside town not far from Rostock. If you like, you can take a detour to Bad Doberan, where you have the option of visiting the Train Museum "Molli" and then cycle leisurely to Warnemünde through the backlands.
DAY 5: Warnemünde/Rostock- Fischland/Darß, 22 to 34 mi. (35 to 55 km)
You'll start the morning in Warnemünde, where the Warnow River spills out into the Baltic Sea. If you like, go for a stroll along the "Old Stream", where old fishing boats come together with tall new sailing ships. Along the Hochuferweg, you will ride on to Wustrow and the artist's colony of Ahrenshoop before finally making your way to today's destination of Darß.
Day 6: Fischland-Darß - Zingst/Barth, 25 to 31 mi. (40 to 50 km)
Today's journey will take you across the Darßer Urwald Forest to the village of Prerow. A trip to the west coast of Prerow is a must. You can find a romantic beach and maybe some amber. You'll next ride through the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park, which contains some important nesting grounds for cranes and grey gooses. The day will end in Barth.
Day 7: Zingst/Barth - Stralsund, 28 to 34 mi. (45 to 55 km)
You'll leave Barth behind along the bay to cycle to Stralsund. Even from a distance, you'll be able to discern the old Hanse town by its 3 tall church towers.
DAY 8: Departure from Stralsund after breakfast

Our group of 11 cyclists took this tour in May 2009. We have taken some 8 European tours, and somehow this was the most memorable. It has s great combination of scdenery and historic sites. Our weather was perfect. Flying in and out of Berlin is handy. Hennie has cycled this route herself, so she knows it well! Pack and Pedal's service is, as usual, excellent.
