Wallnau Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Definitely have a look. Millions of birds rest here during bird migrations in autumn. Otherwise a lot of rare species can be found in the area. But you need a bit of luck for a bird to come into view.

A little tour on Fehmarn...not that the muscles think that's it 😉.

Today is the last day on Fehmarn, and as Stefan from Komoot wrote: "We put on a decent headwind and cycled along the coast without any time pressure and at a relaxed pace." 😎 I keep saying, luckily we brought a battery with us. 😂
Today's tour was the most beautiful so far on our Baltic Sea vacation. It's truly …

Very nice tour, unfortunately very strong wind on the west coast 60-7o kmh. We chose the starting point at the Lemkerhafenparkpkatz, there is a very nice café there and you can also watch the kitesurfers well. 👍

On this tour, which is also a themed tour, you cycle through the west of the island, along the entire wild west coast and, if you wish, to the Flügger lighthouse and the NABU Wallnau water bird reserve. Break stops including a visit are worthwhile here if you plan enough time. The route then continues to the idyllic harbor in …

After a break and shopping at the only butcher on Fehmarn, unfortunately forgot to start Komoot again. That's why the end of the tour is of course also the beginning in Lemkenhafen. So the tour was about 3 km longer.

A typical tour that we drove. Three hours of cycling and eight hours on the road.
Komoot qualified the tour as hard. We didn't notice anything about that. The bike paths are covered with fine gravel, which is so hard that only the crunching under the wheels is reminiscent of gravel and you feel like you're driving on asphalt.
The …

A really beautiful tour! We were on an e-bike but rode without support! It's easy for everyone to ride! Only when there's wind, then of course with support. The landscape is wonderful! If you want to ride closer to the water, you have to get off more often because gates have to be opened! Thanks for the beautiful tour!
