Our tip
Hand-biking in the coastal forest
The Rostock Heath is the largest coastal forest on the German Baltic Sea coast and, thanks to the unique combination of forest and sea climates, is ideally suited for active outdoor pursuits. Two of the designated thalassotherapy trails through the Rostock Heath have been assessed by ‘Reisen-für-alle’ and have been classified as suitable for handbikes. The circular routes are between 7 and 11 kilometres long.
