This guided cycling tour provides unique scenic views in the southern portion of the Schlei region, known as Schwansen. The journey’s routes meander between the Baltic Sea and the Schlei Fjord providing breath-taking scenes. The past ice age surely left its mark on the landscape. Day routes are not without a few slopes, all of which are very manageable.
Overnight accommodation is in two locations: the comfortable Hotel in Schleswig and in the cozy Hotel in Kappeln, which has a famous pub due to the German television series “Country Doctor”. 

The settlement history of the region dates to the pre-historic era and still has intact pre-historic burial mounds. Schleswig-Holstein’s ever-evolving history led to the construction of quite impressive estates as well. Just a few examples of sights to be visited include: the Hemmelmark Estate which Prince Heinrich renovated in 1903, the Ludwigsburg Estate with its noteworthy “colourful hall” from the baroque time period and the Krieseby Estate which has a beautiful park. There will also be opportunities to visit the Damp and Karlsburg Estates as well as to experience the morbid charm of the Saxtorf Estate. Oftentimes the velonobilis groups will be given tours from the property owners themselves. Along the way a few typical Roman churches will be passed. Stops en route include Arnis, the smallest German town, Sieseby with the very famous restaurant “Schliekrog” and the city of Schleswig, which is renowned for its baroque garden and the “globehouse” of the Gottorf Castle, its Cathedral and beautiful town homes. In addition, there is the opportunity to gain insight about the herring fishery. The boat cruise from Schleswig to Kappeln will round out the trip and provide an impression from the water of the fantastic sights seen along the way.
