Ferry across the Kieler Förde

Langholz - Laboe 56.13 km

We had a good mixture of up and downhills today, mostly on good biking paths. It was a pretty hot day and even the breeze felt warm on the skin. 

This is low German (Plattdeutsch) - do my German friends know what it means?

We went around the whole Förde and reached Eckernförde which is located at the end of the Förde. 

In Eckernförde. 

After our lunch break we noticed that either we have to stay very far before or very far after Kiel at campgrounds and both options were not very good km-wise. So we went for a third option and skipped the city of Kiel by taking a ferry across the Förde to the other side. Laboe is a lively touristic town where we also found a campground to stay with the second trial.

Sunflowers and sea :)
