Picnic spot with a view of the Strelasund

Highlight • Viewpoint

the way from Altefähr here is sometimes muddy, certainly not suitable for racing bikes. He is lonely and offers a nice view over the sound.

View of Stralsund

Highlight • Viewpoint

Directly on the steep bank, this rather hidden spot offers a magnificent view and invites you to linger. Two benches, a table, and a trash can complete this resting place.

July 18, 2025,Rügen ~ Große Altefähr Radrunde

A spontaneous bike ride in the south of Rügen on my grandma's old e-bike. We rode this circular route during our childhood summer holidays. This is where I learned to ride a bike.

And even today, I'm fascinated by the beautiful, expansive landscape and the endless sky. The stretch of coast to Altefähr is one of the most beautiful in …

The small parking lot where we started this tour is near the old bridge. From there we cycled to Altefähr. Past the harbor we rode on the beach for a while because the cycle path was blocked. Then we continued along a small country road near the sea. Lots of swans swam in there.
Further inland we mainly drove over …

Today, on the last day of the Baltic Sea, I took another lovely tour on "the island."
I was surprised by the private collection of East German motorcycles in Poseritz👌.
It took me through fields and meadows, small towns with harbors, and long stretches directly along the coast with a view of Stralsund ⛪️🌁.
At the small beach in Altefähr, …

Detour to Rügen. Over the old Rügen bridge, the new one is not suitable for bicycles, a short detour to the island of Dänholm. But you don't have to. We drove through Gustow and Poseritz and took a short break there in the "Garten-Cafe Tannenweg". We filled up with liquids in the island brewery and since the ferry from Altefär …

Before my visit leaves again today, it should be a slightly smaller round from home.
So just drove up to Rügen in a strong south-east wind.....

The air mattress in the living room has now been put away so that I can write on the pictures on the PC again!

Today I rode clockwise, which I rarely do on this lap - I don't really know why! 🤔

Today I chose the "cycle path" behind Altefähr near the shore.

The scenery is beautiful, but the surface is deplorable! (It's even part of the official Rügen tour!)

Otherwise it was beautiful, as it often is.....

June 30, 2023,Südrügen - nie langweilig!

Today I wanted to "run" the red bike again and in the afternoon I set out for this little tour!

Actually, I was pretty much exactly between the two bridge openings of 3:20 p.m. and 5:20 p.m.
