The route leads past the oldest racecourse on the European continent, always along the railway line.

Molli Narrow-Gauge Railway

Highlight • Structure

You can hear it from afar, and when it has passed you can still smell the coal dust. Simply beautiful - something from the old days.

November 1, 2024,Ostsee, Sturm und große Wellen

Last short vacation this year, where the bike tour was a must. So I hopped on my bike and headed off along the Baltic Sea towards Kühlungsborn. There was a strong headwind, but I'd rather go there than back.

Kühlungsborn is hopelessly overtouristed. Full, rich, beautiful and not my thing at all. Kilometers of tourist boxes in all shapes and …

Kühlungsborn is always worth a visit. There are great restaurants at the marina that serve good food. We were in the Vielmeer, I can only recommend it.
Unfortunately nothing is happening with Villa Baltic.

A beautiful tour on the Ostsee Radweg, at least in large parts. Still a bit cool in the morning, jacket weather, but it then got better and better. During the season, the route is also heavily frequented on weekdays and correspondingly crowded. Unfortunately, there are always contemporaries who nevertheless race as if there was nothing more to eat at the …

TODAY I WENT BY BIKE 🚲 FROM KÜHLUNGSBORN TO HEILIGENDAMM. THAT WAS RELATIVELY DISAPPOINTING, AS APART FROM A ROW OF WHITE VILLAS (PARTLY DILAPIDATED 🏚️), THERE IS NOT MUCH TO SEE IN THE OLDEST SEASIDE RESORT IN CONTINENTAL EUROPE. THE BEACH SEEMS UNKEMPT.
😐
BACK IN KÜHLUNGSBORN THERE WAS ICE CREAM 🍦, SHOPPING 🛍️ AND TAGLIATELLE WITH PORCINI MUSHROOMS 🍄‍🟫 …

We sought shelter at a bus stop in Heiligendamm. It started pouring with rain. 💦After 20 minutes, we moved on.

October 19, 2024,Heiligendamm und retour

Unfortunately, it wasn't possible to take some nice pictures in Heiligendamm. Everything was extremely secluded, we would have had to push the bike a long way to the pier, but we didn't feel like doing that. Let the rich, beautiful and powerful stay among themselves.😬 It's a shame, because many years ago we used to drink coffee with the children …
