Was talking to a pal about a possible visit to Peenemunde just last week so will follow this thread with interest.
Route suggestion sought - Hook of Holland to Peenemunde
- Thread starter ymfb
- Start date
If awesome motorcycle roads are a thing for you...
Go via the Harz Forest National Park
Drop into the Biker Oasis Cafe 36
And ride this road:
Harz forest is crammed with awesome tarmac, it's a haven for motorcyclists.... Only a small detour.....
There's a couple of reasonable well-priced Motorcycle -friendly hotels in Altenau which is a longish day's ride from Hook of Holland
We used this hotel, a tad basic but ok.

Outward I would suggest Day one go around Dutch Coast and stop at Lubeck /Laboe , next day a bit of motorway but will give enough time to stop at Rostock if you are into U Boats (Type 21) then on to Rugen (Prora ), ,we then went on to Peenemunde the next day and stopped at Anklam (interesting history ) , then make your own way back
You may want to stop at Rechlin. This was the German test centre for experimental aircraft and was an airfield from the earliest days of flying. There's a very good museum there.
Can you put some more bones on this, please.
The OP wants to avoid motorways and days over 300 miles (preferably, shorter).
Since we are in the suggestion of stuff to see and do, I’ll lob in a visit (it won’t take long) to near enough where Montgomery took the surrender of the Germans at Luneburg Heath.
Depending on which way you go, you might well be going straight past it, just before you cross the river Elbe.

There’s not too much to see, beyond a commemorative stone. But, you and your mates, will be standing (near enough) on the site of one of the most momentous moments in history.
