SELFGUIDED AND FOR GROUPS
The sea always arouses many emotions. Everyone has different associations: for some it brings to mind hot summer days on the beach and a pleasant swim in the swift waves, for others the rough waters evoke respect and admiration for the forces of nature. However, anyone who has ever looked at the horizon above its shores is absorbed by nostalgia and blissful oblivion.
During the biketrip along international bicycle route along the Baltic Sea (R-10) there will be many opportunities to reflect by staring at the great water, sitting on the beach or climbing the numerous lighthouses, dunes and cliffs. So forget about your worries and enjoy the experience of the bicycle trail along the Baltic coast. The almost flat terrain will give you great driving pleasure, and numerous reserves and attractions along the way will make you feel like a real traveler!
