June 15, 2025,Tag 1 - Ostseeküstenradweg - Kiel - Weissenhäuser Strand
After a good breakfast, we set off on the first leg of our journey from Kiel to Weissenhäuser Strand. The first few kilometers took us through Gaarden-Ost, Ellerbek, and various neighborhoods, and weren't worth mentioning until Schwentine. After 9 kilometers, we wanted to cycle directly along the Kiel Fjord, but that didn't work out; the barriers at the construction site …

3 degrees Celsius in the morning couldn't stop me.
I enjoyed another sunny day by the water.
Great route with many gravel sections that were easy to ride.

Out of the big city of Kiel, past huge overseas ferries, then long rows of beach chairs, many kilometers of sandy beach, cliffs with a viewing platform in Schönberg, quiet paths through bird sanctuaries, and again and again cornfields, now almost all mown. The route from Kiel to Oldenburg stays close to the water and is very varied. The fish …

At Hanover Central Station, all trains were canceled due to the same problem. After a good hour of waiting, an opportunity arose from Hanover …

It's nice that the rain will probably stop for the next few days, although the south wind is blowing really hard. I'm still struggling with the EV10, as it's difficult to ride long distances and, despite the suspension, it's now taking a lot of patience. The area is very beautiful, though.

With the 9Euroticket and bike ticket to Kiel in the morning. Everything easy, what are they saying all the time? 🤣🤣 Through ghettos towards Laboe. Then on to the fjord and the Baltic Sea coast. The last 25km were rollercoaster rides though. Up, down, up, up down, up, up down. Tomorrow morning we start again with up to the power …

A beautiful bike path runs along the Kiel Fjord (past the stalls and ships of Kiel Week) along the Baltic Sea. Kilometers of white sandy beaches, but also cliffs.
