Interesting fact. However, the birds in this place are so used to people that you can watch them from a bike...

Germany's only floodplain national park protects one of the few virtually intact floodplains in Europe. The diverse landscape types found in and around this floodplain create a uniquely high biodiversity of flora and fauna. The flat Oder Valley, with meadows and sparse trees, is framed by hilly forests and steep slopes. A treat for the eye and the sense of discovery. Motorized traffic is prohibited in most of the Lower Oder Valley National Park.

Edit 2025: Crooked Forest has been surrounded by benches. It has lost a lot of its mysteriousness. It is hard to take an interesting photo now without a bench entering the frame. But you can relax like in a park.

Yes, but... The rating "difficult tour" is definitely accurate. We cycled from Ahlbeck to Stettin on the east side of the St.Haff. There were challenging climbs there (south of Misdroy). The entire route only had smooth cycle paths on asphalt or slabs within/near towns. Otherwise gravel, sometimes rough. That made the 130km quite strenuous.

Very nice dike paths, all paths have good cycle paths. Many species of birds can be seen at this time of year.

Great weatherproof bird watching hut. Since the hut is right on the bike path, it is also suitable for shelter if you are caught in the rain.

Beautiful national park, mostly very easy to drive through.
