This Collection takes you on a journey through time along the Baltic Sea coast. On your adventure, you discover the Baltic Manors, ancient manor houses that stand as stone witnesses to history. The manors tell of agricultural times gone by, the life of the lords of the manors, and the eventful past of the South Baltic region.
The numerous castles, manor houses, and stately homes in the region have shaped the rural villages up to the present day. From the wide fields in southern Sweden to the Danish islands, from rolling hills in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Germany to the Polish coast and Lithuania, the lords of the manors left a distinctive mark on this vast region. Today, more and more of the crumbling walls of these buildings are being renovated in accordance with historic building regulations and transformed to fit modern times. A classic manor house hotel is just one of the many new uses. Creative minds are bringing innovative ideas, courage and energy to the table, to give these manor houses a new lease of life.
In this Collection, we take you deep into this landscape which is steeped in rich history. On 13 varied Tours, we show you sides of Northern Germany, Denmark, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden that you might not have known before. You will find everything from leisurely half-day Tours to two-day Tours, which can also be completed in one day depending on your fitness level. The terrain around the Baltic Sea is mostly flat, so you seldom encounter any tiring hills. However, flat landscapes often mean strong winds, so it’s worth taking a look at the weather forecast before setting off.
Of course, fresh fish is served all along the Baltic Sea coast. You can also look forward to typical dishes such as chilled borscht soup which is traditionally served during the summer in Lithuania or pierogi, Polish stuffed dumplings. The food will certainly make your taste buds happy and satisfy your cyclist’s appetite.
By the way, all the Tours in this Collection are located close to the Baltic Sea Coast Cycle Route, the EuroVelo Route EV10. If you are planning a longer cycling trip and want to combine the Tours, the EV10 is an excellent link. For more information about the Euro-Velo10, take a look here: en.eurovelo.com/ev10
