Kiellinie Promenade

Highlight • Trail

Cycling is officially allowed here, but especially on sunny days and/or at weekends, the Kiellinie is heavily frequented by pedestrians and cyclists, so caution is advised.

The view of the Kiel Fjord and various gastronomic offerings always invite you to take a short break.

After three tours fell through due to a breakdown - my beloved coats have now blessed the far and I changed them after only 3500km.

R.I.P - Schwalbe Spacer 🪦
Welcome - Schwalbe G-ONE

So off we went! Sun-rain-sun - rain-sun....🌦 and then there was a storm and you were rocked powerfully on the Adler I.

Today we took the small ferry across the NOK to Holtenau. From there on to Friedrichsort. Very nice little place. Then to the beach at the Friedrichsort lighthouse and back. This time the ferry was too full for me, so up to the high bridge and over 🙃😬

After the lovely walk around the Bülk Lighthouse, @Silke W. and I parted ways... she cycled 🚲 back to Süderbrarup, while I cycled back to Kiel, where the next challenge awaited me 😅...

My holiday week began with a wonderful day in my "old" hometown of Kiel. First, my girlfriend (still from her sports studies 🥰) and I enjoyed the breakfast buffet in the forestry nursery 😋.

Well fortified, we set off on a relaxed bike ride through the places of the "past".

...but something of 🌞🌞🌞

In the best weather, of course, it has to go to the fjord 💙...

For the early "end of work" and start of the holiday, I let myself go by the water and enjoy the fantastically beautiful path through the nature reserve in the direction of Schilksee/Fr' Ort 🥰...
