Unfortunately we couldn't do the loop around Insel Poel because it was pouring rain.

Wismar, a port town on the Baltic Sea, full of Gothic red brick monuments. Worth seeing: the mighty church of St. Nicholas, the rebuilt church of St. George, the Renaissance well Wasserkunst on the huge market square and the old port gate Wassertor. The whole is complemented by the atmospheric old town and the quay with cutters. The bicycle route …

I really wanted to go to the island of Poel. But it's quite a distance from our accommodation, especially since the hills and gravel paths don't exactly make the journey easier. At least I made it as far as Kirchdorf.

June 26, 2026,Von Poel nach Hohen Wieschendorf 🚴🏻‍♂️🥵🌞

Today we went from Poel via Wismar and Wendorf to the enchanting, listed village of Hoben. Then on to Zierow, where I attended agricultural engineering school for two years in the early nineties. Then further on to Hohen Wieschendorf and from there via Beckerwitz and Gramkow to Proseken. There the church was open and its interior blew me away! So …

2nd stage from Wohlenberg to the island of Poel. From time to time we tried to take small beaten paths, which are also marked as cycle paths. It is not worth. The paths are impassable due to undergrowth and fallen trees. We are now stranded in the small island hotel

Today a short detour to Poel. Since we didn't leave the campsite until 12 p.m., we drove the shortest way towards Poel on the way there, unfortunately always along the road (top cycle paths). When we got there, we wanted to get a picture of the camping lighthouse and the surrounding area. 😃 Unfortunately, the path to the dunes was …

August 18, 2023,🚴‍♂️ E-Bike-Tour Zierow - Insel Poel 🌤 25°

My 1st e-bike tour took us to the island of Poel today. We discovered the Wendorf Wismar pier by accident and then continued through Wismar, past the shipyard and the port.

We circumnavigated half of the island of Poel. In Gollwitz we walked through the water to a sandbank and enjoyed the beautiful view of the island and the water. …
