Our first time on the island
with many impressions, the most intense was Prora with the "Strength through Joy" complex, and the beach was absolutely fantastic.

I learned from friends that the new bike path from Bergen to Binz, via Karow and Lubkow, is supposed to be finished.
Well, almost.
Up to Lubkow, it's already paved all the way, although some of the sealing work is still underway.
Beyond Lubkow, there are still construction machines, suggesting that it's not finished yet.
Taking the last exit and …

Actually a nice bike ride, but from Prora to Karow unfortunately no bike path on a busy road. Absolutely unsuitable for families with children, something has to be changed, so fingers crossed 👎

This route is very demanding. It goes over paths with very good but also bad condition. Often bike paths next to the main road or through fields and forests. Several 13% inclines.

Many good bike paths. When you reach the treetop walk 2 km before, research the exact location. This will save you a few kilometers. Take the "Naturerbe Zentrum Rügen" turnoff right off the L293!

This part of Rügen is a bit hilly. The official cycle paths mostly follow the main roads, but are separated and in very good condition. Unfortunately, there are no bike lanes on some streets, which is very uncomfortable with the heavy traffic. Hence the excursion over dirt roads at the end of the journey.

While planning my long weekend, I stumbled upon this fun website about cycle paths on Rügen 😆...the ones you wish existed, the ones that aren't there anymore, never were, and probably never will be... radfahren-auf-ruegen.de/servicewege.htm

I'm going to try some of them. Today I'm starting with the loop around the small Jasmund Bodden...well, sort of around it, but without much …

During the Nazi era, Prora is said to be a large seaside resort for 20,000 vacationers. At that time the facility was still called "Kraft-durch-Freude-Seebad Rügen", the name "Prora" was only established later, when the unfinished KdF buildings became one of the largest military sites in the GDR. The design for the seaside resort comes primarily from the architect Clemens …
