The islands of Sylt and Foehr are great--and great for bicycling. You might
easily be able to bike to Dagebull, take the ferry over to Foehr, and then ride around the coast (counter-clockwise is nice). However the causeway to Sylt is only traversable by train, so you'd have to bike to a town with a train connection to Westerland, and then explore the towns and dunes from there. Since you can take bikes on regional trains, you might consider getting a Schleswig-Holstein Karte for the day and training it to the Baltic and biking down the coast to Luebeck. The area around Ploen is also beautiful (Swiss Holstein) with lakes. The city of Kiel makes a nice stop along the way too. If you combine train and bike, and a hiking/biking map plus a guide to the area, you'll have lots of beautiful (and flat biking!) options. |

How many bottles of beer can you carry on a bike? It is irrelevant. I have celiac disease and can't drink beer. Does Denmark have cider on tap like in the UK? Don www.donwiss.com (e-mail link at home page bottom). |

Carriage of bikes possible on the bus, I had no idea that one could take a bike on a bus! Not here in the US. reservation required on the train. The map in my Lonely Planet shows no train tracks between Tønder and Tinglev. Though probably better is to do the (presumably) less interesting bit between Tønder and Tinglev both ways on the bus and cycle to the island and back (thus avoiding the requirement to reserve for the train). It looks like about 20 km between Tønder and Tinglev. The route planner has only 35 minutes bus time between these two, running hourly. Knocking 40 km off would give me energy and time to do more of Als. Last bus back is 22:43. Which is just about when twilight will be. If I got back to Tinglev earlier I could, if I felt like it, bike that stretch home. When I get all the bike maps I may have some idea what that stretch is like. I'm hoping for some maps like the scenic bike route topographical maps I got in The Netherlands. Thanks for the bus idea. Don www.donwiss.com (e-mail link at home page bottom). |

It's quite common in parts of Europe, though some places have some peak restrictions. reservation required on the train. The map in my Lonely Planet shows no train tracks between Tønder and Tinglev. That bit's the bus. (there is a railway but it's closed) By the way, the railway to Niebüll/Germany has been reopened. Regards, ULF |
