BARGE / BOAT
TOUR CODE:
UBE
Travel by barge and bike from Berlin along the Oder River
and to the Baltic sea
Discover parts of Germany few travellers ever see when you journey by barge
and bike from Berlin to the Baltic Sea. Leaving the busting city of Berlin we
set off through the vast forests in the north by bike. The first sail brings us
through the Oder‑Havel Canal. The peaceful and unique landscape of the
Oder river will continue as we head towards Poland. En route we cycle through
the 'Lower Oder Valley National Park', a unique nature reserve on the border
of Germany and Poland. We cross the border by boat staying overnight in
Szczecin, one of the largest ports on the Baltic sea, with time to visit the
castle in the city's historic centre. During the week long tour discover the
varied flora and fauna of these unique fluvial landscapes, baroque castles,
and northern German seaside resort towns. The comfortable barge will be
our home for the week, where you can enjoy stunning views while sitting on
the sundeck as we sail down the Oder River.

Discover two of Europe's most fascinating capital cities
by bike
The contrasts between northern Germany and Denmark don't begin right
at the border, but you'll certainly notice them on this cross border cycling
trip. The trip begins in Germany's vibrant, culturally rich and exciting capital
of Berlin before cycling north to the coast via forests, lakes and hopping
from glistening islands to island towards the Danish capital of Copenhagen.
On occasion you will need to catch local trains and also catch a ferry to
Denmark. Germany's scattered lakes, peaceful wetlands and emerald forests
provide a wonderful start for the cycling ahead. The Danish landscapes are
vibrant in contrast, where cliffy coasts change into white sandy beaches and
picturesque fishing villages alternate with majestic palaces and gorgeous
manor‑houses further inland.
