Cycling day trip from Kappeln to Eckernförde

Hop on your bike and let's roll from the charming harbor town of Kappeln to the coastal city of Eckernförde! Starting in Kappeln, famous for its picturesque views of the Schlei inlet and the historic windmill Amanda, you'll be cruising along smooth paths and quiet roads for most of the trip. The ride is fairly easy on the legs, with just a gentle ascent of 123 meters and a descent of 135 meters — enough to give you a little workout but nothing too intense.

You'll cover roughly 40.6 kilometers, with a solid 87% of your journey on asphalt, making for a smooth ride. There’s a bit of variety with concrete and paving stones scattered in, but absolutely no cobblestone or gravel to slow you down.

As you pedal towards Eckernförde, you'll feel the fresh breeze from the Baltic Sea and once you arrive, you're in for a treat. Eckernförde is known for its vibrant fish market, beautiful beach, and a lively harbor area. Perfect for unwinding after a relaxing ride. Grab some local snacks or just take a moment to soak in the coastal vibe. Happy cycling!
