We spent our last morning pottering around bucolic farmland on the way down to Gedser and the ferry to Germany. It was rather lovely, with the sun out in force, and lots of roadside produce to look over.

We had some trepidation about cycling in Germany after the ease of Denmark (they even had a designated cycle route right onto the ferry). We had planned to follow the Copenhagen to Berlin cycle route and had read that the German side was a bit difficult to follow.

At first our fears seemed to be realised, with no cycle way off the ferry other than a road with no verges, no signs and a rather large coal power plant instead of the wind farms we had grown used to.

Thankfully these fears turned out to be short-lived and we we soon found the cycle route to Berlin. So far it’s been very well sign-posted and has a very nice mostly car free cycle way.

Rostock (where the ferry lands) is fairly industrial, but has a really nice old town with a market in the square, where we picked up supplies for dinner. No real bakeries yet though…..
