Freest Fishing Harbor

Highlight • Structure

A picturesque little harbor – probably primarily for fishing, but also serving ferry services to destinations including Peenemünde. The overall picture is rounded off by the plentiful restaurants.

Old Greifswald Towpath

Highlight • Trail

If the chain is freshly oiled, I would avoid this beautiful route. The red dust settles on everything that sticks when it is very dry.

Towpath along the Ryck

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice path on the Ryck with mobile gravel (also with 23 tires). Not recommended in wet weather, as this creates a lot of puddles and mud. A lot of excursion traffic with pedestrians is to be expected at the weekend.

From Greifswald, the route continues along the Ryck River to Eldena, home to a very well-preserved monastery ruin. The route continues through the Laken Nature Reserve (very beautiful) to Lubmin. In Wolgast, cross the bridge to Usedom.

The 2nd day on the Baltic Sea Cycle Route. Through small villages, mostly on cycle paths or forest paths, rolling along in a relaxed manner, little traffic and not much going on.
Nice

At the beginning, the tour runs through the hinterland. The only highlight is the wildlife park just after Wolgast.
Near Gahlkow, you pass the old Greifswald nuclear power plant, which has already been shut down. An energy and technology center is now located there.
And suddenly you are very close to the Baltic Sea again. You walk through a bungalow …

The morning begins with radiant sunshine. I enjoy the morning and only set off at 10:30 AM. And when I leave, still at the campsite, the clouds are back and it's raining. Showers and sun alternate and in the afternoon the showers become heavier and there's strong wind all day. In Greifswald, warming up in the Mecklenburger Backstube is then …

I've done this tour in a similar way before (via Wrangelsburg), but I wasn't satisfied with all the routes!

So "revised" and repeated today as an optimized version - and it was great!!! 👍

I'll probably visit the sculpture park near Katzow again to stroll through in peace - it's a spacious area!

This stage should actually lead to Ahlbeck or Swinoujscie. However, I got on the train in Wolgast. Therefore it ends in Wolgast.
The route is very beautiful and varied. The flooring isn't bad either.
Ludwigsburg Palace is not really interesting, except when there is a market or demonstrations taking place there.
However, it makes sense to leave the Baltic Sea …
