Carotio, the Bing Maps website chose that route because it thinks it's the fastest (400 km in 3h and ½). If I click on 'Shortest distance' (at the bottom), it chooses your route (264km in 5h and ½, because of the ferry).

But you being from Denmark, you know the situation better than some website

I vote for the fastest

Make sure we rent a fast car.

We don't even need a ferry!

3.5 hours x 2? Piece of cake
.

I don't really care if we choose the long, fast route or the short, slow route.
I'll just go along with what the majority thinks.

But yes, the ferry steals 2*1 hour, and some waiting time at the ferry can occur... So the long route may be the best option. Fine with me...

Can we go ... by submarine ?

That will take days!

This route leads only to Kiel city. Laboe is located just outside of Kiel in the country, so you have still go through the city or around it and we have currently numerous construction sites in the metropolitan area of Kiel and traffic diversions which change almost daily. Yesterday I had to drive vocationally through Kiel

You should add approx. 40-50 minutes to the calculated driving time, no matter which route you choose.

Roger that, thanks.

Yeah, either way is fine with me too. As long as we can figure out how long we will have to wait for the ferry and how much it costs.

Been thinking about this again...
Looking at the time tables, a ferry each ½ hour, I don't really think the short route is so bad. It can be nice with a short break - toilet, stretching of the legs, breathing some fresh sea air...
I'm mostly into making this route, so I'll vote for that.

But if the majority insists on the other way round, then okay.

Let's also see how many we are on the 8th. If we go for a 7 person van or a 9 person van or if we need two. Maybe we can make a race if we have two vans. One go the one way, and the other the other way... :rotfl:

And we get lost and try to find each other

Joke aside, I'm good with whatever options the drivers / locals are comfortable with. I'm not a driver myself.
