GuidesThe main guide to this section of the North Sea Route is the Bikeline Guide.
The guide includes 1:75,000 maps of the route (including variants), route descriptions, tips and details of accommodation. As far as I am aware 'Number 1' is only available in German but the maps are very good and easy to follow, more details can be found on the publishers website.
