Tour description

Our tour starts at the railway station of Burg auf Fehmarn. Burg is now the main town on the island.

From there, we will head toward Burgstaaken, on the cycle path which is constructed alongside the old railway line.

After circling around the Burger See (lake) in a westerly direction, we will head via Wulfen to the Fehmarn Sound Bridge, which connects the island with the mainland.

After crossing the bridge, we will continue via Lemkenhafen and Orth around the Rother Reede (roadstead) to the Flügger lighthouse.

Further along the coast, we will travel through the Wallnau nature reserve to the Westermakelsdorf lighthouse.

Our Baltic Sea tour on the coast will now proceed to the Niobe monument and to

Puttgarden, where there is a very nice ferry port - from which the ferries depart to neighboring Denmark.

From Puttgarden we will travel across the island’s interior to Marienleuchte, where we will return to the Baltic Sea coast.

We will proceed along the well-developed cycle paths of the steep coast, where the magnificent views of the Baltic Sea will invite people to take photos. We’ll then head on to a marine radio station at the southeast end of the island, where we’ll depart from the coast again.

After traveling a short distance, we’ll reach the lake once more and proceed via Burgtiefe with its bathing beach and Burgstaaken harbor, back to our starting point - Burg.
