The Hamburg-Lübeck-Schwerin tour leads through three provinces in the former German-German borderland. The unique flora and fauna of the border area with its nature reserves (Elbe River, Schaalsee Lake) alternates with the cultural and architectural highlights of the towns Hamburg, Lübeck, Schwerin, Dömitz and Ludwigslust. The tour's highest spot is 80 m above sea level, though there are few short climbs. Mainly in the nature reserves there will not always be fully developed cycle paths, but the tour doesn't require a special fitness level.
