By bike and ship in Northern Germany
For bicycle & ship journeys in Northern Germany a vacation at the sea offers itself naturally. Choose for example island tours with bike & ship and enjoy holidays on a luxury sailboat and with the bike in and at the West Frisian Wadden Sea. Or choose a trip from Berlin via the Oder-Havel Canal and the Oder to the Baltic Sea and Stralsund. Here you get to know, among other things, the landscape of the Lower Oder Valley National Park, characterised by wet meadows, alluvial forest and species-rich deciduous forests.
A cycling holiday on a ship in northern Germany, where the route runs completely off the beaten track, is the journey in the Land of a Thousand Lakes (Mecklenburg Lake District). Here you share a wonderful wide landscape with sea eagles, wild geese and cranes. You follow in the footsteps of the writers Fontane and Tucholsky and spend wonderful days on bike and boat.
Cycling holidays on the ship in East Germany
Berlin is also a nice starting point for combined cycling and boat trips through the East of Germany. If you feel like taking a short trip, you can opt for the four-day “Rad & Schiff Berlin City Cruise. ” Berlin-Mitte, Potsdam and Köpenick are stops on this journey in a region that is very rich in highlights.
Great Berlin sights such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Cathedral and the Museum Island are just as much among these highlights as Sanssouci Palace, the Peacock Island and the Russian colony Alexandrovka in Potsdam. The boat will take you over Havel, Wannsee and the Spree. And again and again this attractive boat trip turns into an equally attractive bike trip, where you can explore the countryside by bicycle.
A slightly longer cycling and boat holiday can be enjoyed on the eight-day tour on the Havel and the Havel cycle path from Berlin-Spandau to Havelberg. Here, too, the famous world heritage in Brandenburg awaits you. In addition, you will get to know the more than 1000-year-old city of Brandenburg an der Havel, the city of optics Rathenow, a beautiful lake landscape, numerous meadows and forests and romantic small villages on this Germany holiday by bike & boat. The East of Germany is so beautiful.
