Grüssow Dike Path (Usedom Circular Route)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice path on the dike along the backwater, which is part of the Usedom cycle path. For the inexperienced, the natural path could be difficult to navigate.

Swimming spot on Insel Usedom

Highlight • Beach

The path on the dike up to here is easy to drive when it has been freshly mowed. When the meadow is high, there is only a very narrow path for hikers and cyclists

View of Gnitz

Highlight • Viewpoint

Since we had only been hiking over there on the Gnitz the day before 🥾, it was particularly interesting for us to take a close look at the opposite bank 😃

Quilitz Village and Historic Fisher Cottages

Small sleepy place in the Lieper angle (nature park) between Peenestrom and Achterwasser. Pay attention to the parking lot at the village kiosk ;-)

Overall, it's a pleasant walk. The last few meters are on a side street. You can sit down at the harbor in Rankwitz.

August 11, 2023,☀️ Usedom ☀️ – Rundtour Lieper Winkel => von Liepe

Today we went to the country... the Lieper Winkel.

After a good 1 km on the country road had been mastered... wow, quite dangerous... it was only possible to walk along meadow paths and along the dyke... very quiet, very pleasant to walk on, very meditative. 🧘‍♂️

Beautiful scenery, but the dyke is a bit difficult to cycle on. Small detours are worthwhile, however, in order to be able to experience everything.

May 18, 2023,Lieper Winkel-Runde

Usedom's Lieper Winkel peninsula lies between the backwaters and the Peenestrom and offers both the original Usedom and nature experiences away from the tourist crowds.

Unfortunately, the round begins with asphalt... But once you've overcome the first stretch, you continue on the beaten path of the dike. Countless birds cavort in the nearby reeds, hiding between the stalks, and where …

Today we started the day with a hearty breakfast before heading for a stroll along the promenade in Ahlbeck.

We had an ice cream along the way before heading back to our accommodation.

My wife put her feet up while I explored the area. Even the stretch of road inspired me to take a photo. We ended the day with …

The island of Usedom with its rough beauty, always great.
I've ridden this tour twice by bike, on foot you perceive everything much more intensely. The end was exciting again, the rain was approaching and I was faced with a herd of bulls and a 5 meter wide ditch.... 1.5 km detour. 😬

Because it's just fantastically beautiful and a natural paradise, we went to the Lieper Winkel again today...but this time on foot...starting at Rankwitz Harbor, we first went via Liepe to Grüssow, and then continued back along the Achterwasser towards Warthe and Quilitz ...enjoy the unique silence far away from the crowds of tourists, that's exactly what it's all about and …

April 5, 2023,Usedom - am Achterwasser

Usedom does not always have to be a beach and the Baltic Sea.

Today we went from Rankwitz along the backwaters.
A large part of the route can be walked along the dike paths. From here there is a beautiful view of the backwaters or of the fields and meadows criss-crossed by many drainage ditches.
