Hiking & Cycling

Fördewanderweg
By foot or by bike

Along the eastern shore of Kiel Bay, past idyllic viewpoints, sandy beaches and harbours, you will find the Fördewanderweg. It starts on the east shore in Kiel-Hörn (at the Color-Line terminal, only a 10-minute walk from the hotel). From here the path runs along the Baltic Sea for about 30 kilometres to Laboe.
When your feet no longer bear you, simply return by bus, train or the Fördelinien ships.

Kiellinie
Watching ships

A real highlight is a walk along the Kiellinie. Just watch the huge ships and ferries docking and casting off and enjoy the ambience.
