Cycling

paradise for your holidays

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern starts where everyday life ends. Between the major cities of Hamburg and Berlin you will find a region that couldn't be more unique and full of variety.

In this coastal area, the air tastes of sea, forests and flowers blooming in the meadows. A soft breeze clears your head. Even the sky seems higher than at home. In glorious silence, the traveller only hears birdsong, splashing water and their own pulse. Even after the first bend in the road, the hustle and bustle of daily life is left far behind. Roll up your trouser leg, hop onto the saddle and set off on an adventure of freedom. 9 cycle routes, 21 cycling circuit tours tours, many day trips as well as hand bike tours lead you far into the country on a closely linked network of 4

cycle paths. Golden yellow fields of rapeseed, velvet green forests and blooming fields run open up like seams next to your path. Chestnuts and lime trees spread a canopy of leaves over picturesque avenues.

They lead to sleepy villages where storks clatter and geese honk. City walls and impressive brick churches have watched over cosy small towns for centuries.

Palaces surrounded by roses and romantic manor houses, white seaside resorts and proud Hanseatic cities provide picture perfect images.

Energy & well-being After a day on your saddle you deserve a break full of wellness. The healthy north pampers its guests with a unique cornucopia of local remedies. Bubbling seawater and ­iodine-rich salt water, white chalk and black moors, mild sea air and many hours of sun revive your body and soul. Sea resort villas and Gründerzeit palaces, resorts and ­manor houses are home to luxurious temples of well-being.

Holiday at your own pace The soft, undulating north is suitable for inexperienced “newbies” too. Everyone can decide how far and how fast they wish to cycle. Whether at a lake, on the beach or at a palace - idyllic places abound, inviting you to take a break to catch your breath. In some regions, two or more cycle routes cross. It is easy to combine the routes with each other.

Good signposting ensures that no one leaves the right path.

Relaxing break: Whether cycling next to the sea, strolling over the waves or feasting in a restaurant - relaxation is everywhere.

5

Intoxicating variety: Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is generally pretty flat. However, holiday cyclists find their spirits soaring with every kilometre they travel.

Around every corner, you can discover an abundance of nature and culture.

Cycling

between the sea and lakes Cycling holidays in the blue-green north is pure refreshment seeing as it is never far to the next “bath tub”.

In Germany’s number one water world, water murmurs, splashes, flows and bubbles wherever you go.

On its endless beach promenades, cyclists can discover small harbours and still bays along 1,943 kilometres of Baltic coast. You will ride from lake to lake and from palace to palace, through forests and meadows sometimes over bumpy cobblestones and soft forest floors. Holiday cyclists are happy to accept this. After all, they are searching for true nature which has been lost elsewhere.

Those from big cities will be impressed with an extraordinary diversity of rare animals and plants. Sea eagles and osprey, cranes and storks float above you in the sky. In the reeds, otters play and the reflection of water lilies, irises and orchids sparkles on the water’s surface. Extensive areas of the country are under special protection. Three national parks, three biosphere reserves and seven nature parks preserve a fabulous world of flora and fauna. Visitors can experience these vivid, original landscapes on their tours. Rangers show you where cranes dance and beavers build their lodges. A wonderful experience awaits you at all times of year.

In grand style Behind the region’s many hills, around 2,000 palaces, parks and manor houses await its visitors. Hardly any other region in Europe is sewn so densely with such precious pearls. Many were awoken and lovingly restored from their deep beauty sleep. Today, many lead new lives as hotels, restaurants, or museums. Cyclists are warmly invited to get off their bikes and stop for a while.

Seeing and hearing Barns and palaces, parks and harbours, brick cathedrals and village churches transform into breath-taking backdrops for amazing events. For fans of classical music, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is considered to be synonymous with special concerts. Visitors feel as if they have stepped into a fairytale at the Schlossfestspiele (palace festivals) in Schwerin, Neustrelitz and Ludwigslust. The fiery historical spectacles around Störtebeker, Wallenstein and Vineta attract large audiences. The highlights of maritime events on the water, such as the Rostock Hanse Sail, the Lake Müritz Sail and the Warnemünde Week enthral thousands of visitors every year.

the former residence town of Neustrelitz, with its star-shaped town complex, the Müritz National Park opens up to the terraced landscape of Lake Tollense. On the northern edge of this lake, you will find the town of Neubrandenburg with its well-preserved weir system and four magnificent town gates.

The journey continues to Vorpommern. The first town on the Stettin Lagoon is Ueckermünde. Beyond Anklam, cyclists cross the River Peene to reach the Isle of Usedom.

The home straight provides a glittering reception: The Baltic resorts lie, embedded like snow-white pearls, between the velvet green dune forests and the dreamy beach on the rustic island. In Wolgast, at the River Peene, the cycle route ends.

On this cycle route, water glitters and babbles behind nearly every bend.

Lake Müritz, Germany’s largest inland lake, is the centrepiece of this route.

The Müritz National Park and the small lakes of the Mecklenburg Lake District can be found on its eastern shore. The arrival on the sunny Isle of Usedom is the spectacular finale of the trip.

­Shortly before the border to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the cycle route leaves the River Oder which pours into the Stettin Lagoon on the Polish side.

Vorpommern welcomes its guests with seven idyllic lakes. Through fields blossoming with flowers and undulating fields of the Randowbruch, it is on to Krackow with its typically Vorpommern architecture. Löcknitz snuggles dreamily in the quiet Randow Valley where only the babbling of the river and humming of bees interrupt the stillness. With a thousand-year old oak standing guard, Lake Löcknitz invites visitors to take a refreshing dip.

Like the cyclists, they flow towards the sea: the River Oder and the River Neiße. From the Czech Republic via Brandenburg, the cycle route reaches the border of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. From here, it’s just a skip and a jump to ­Usedom, where the fine sand beaches and wide sea wait to be conquered.

Berlin-Usedom cycle route | approx. 335 km | 8 Stages Stages in MV: Pasewalk · Ueckermünde · Anklam · Ahlbeck · Peenemünde

From the capital city to the sun island Even during the emperor’s times, Usedom was known as “Berlin’s bathtub”.

While high society used to travel to the glittering seaside resorts by steam train, ­today many connoisseurs cycle to the north. That’s because the journey to the fine, sandy, and sunny Baltic Sea paradise is an ­experience in itself. ermünde soars high above the old town. A colourful throng of sailing boats, fishing boats and passenger ships spread their maritime flair.

West of the harbour town, cosy fishing villages alternate with seaside resorts with their fine sand.

In Anklam, the birthplace of the aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal, even the most down to earth cyclists tend to soar. Pass a drawbridge to reach the isle of usedom.

While crossing the rustic hinterlands it quickly becomes clear why the island was declared a nature park. The promenade between the emperor’s seaside resorts of

Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf and Bansin leads past the magnificent villas of the golden era. Below, the longest sandy beach on the Baltic coast spreads out, which is intersected by elegant piers. On the narrowest part on the island near Lüttenort, the view of the lagoon Achterwasser opens up beyond the cycle route. Fascinated by the beguiling landscape, the painter Otto Niemeyer-Holstein established his studio and residence here.

Relaxing contrasts: The magnificent resort architecture in the seaside spa resort of Bansin and a calm mooring at the Stettin Lagoon.

Spruced up village beauties

Photo: TMV/Grundner

In the midst of soft hills, blossoming meadows and cool forests, idyllic villages with respectable manor houses from the 18th and 19th century are located.

These splendid buildings impress with Roman columns, baroque o ­ rnaments or neogothic arches and in many places with beautiful parks.

The circuit tour starts at the Minster town of Bad Doberan with its well-known Cistercian Abbey and classicist lodges. It leads through a picture-book landscape with small hills, knotted meadows and fields lined with flowers, onwards past wide meadows with horses and cows. Strung, as on a pearl necklace, the manor houses line the road to the birthplace of the man who discovered Troy, Heinrich Schliemann. Neubukow welcomes its guests as an idyllic small town with a well-maintained Dutch windmill.

A few kilometres later, the path leads to Salzhaff, a brine lagoon, where myriads of birds frolic in the waters in front of the peninsula of Wustrow. Between the rapeseed fields around the Bastorf lighthouse, one romantic manor house

The peninsula between the lagoons and the sea is nature’s building site. The National Park Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft protects this unique paradise, featuring fine sandy beaches on one side and high reed belts on the other. At western beach, the sea impetuously heaps its sandy loot on the northern tip. Between the wild romance of the coast and the gentle lagoons, the Darß Forest murmurs.

Rügen circuit tour | approx. 275 km | 5 Stages Stages: Sassnitz · Sellin · Altefähr · Gingst · Juliusruh · Sassnitz

Harmony of contrasts The largest island in Germany amazes visitors with its diversity. Kilometres of sandy beaches and steep coasts, glamorous seaside resorts and rustic fishing villages. Plus its pristine nature. For cyclicsts there are wonderful views to discover: The world-famous chalk cliffs, the Baltic Sea and lagoons, meadows and forests.

The circuit route starts in Sassnitz with a winding descent to its fishing harbour rich in tradition. Past the flint fields of Mukran and the 4.5 km long “Colossus of Prora”, a relic from the Third Reich, the route leads to the Baltic resorts of Binz, Sellin, Baabe and Göhren, always with salty taste of fresh sea air on your lips. The “Rasender Roland” narrow-gauge railway connects the seaside resorts known for their resort architecture, piers and promenades. The adjacent beech forests of Granitz provide cooling freshness.

Altefähr offers an impressive panora­ma of the Stralsund old town. A good contrast to the small fishing villages on Rügen’s west coast. The route to Gingst leads through the nearly deserted nature of Ummanz Island, accompanied by numerous waterfowl and waders and massive swarms of cranes in spring and autumn.

Usedom circuit tour | approx. 160 km | 3 Stages Stages: Wolgast · Bansin · Usedom · Wolgast

Pure variety on the sun island

The circuit tour starts in Wolgast.

An imposing folding bridge over the River Peene leads to the sunny Isle of Usedom. Passing the silent banks of the waterway, cyclists dive into a mixed forest: Like a green ribbon it streches along the fine white beach up to Swinemünde in Poland. One seaside resort lies next to the ­other: Zinnowitz, Bansin, Heringsdorf and Ahlbeck are their most famous representatives.

Elegant villas and snow-white lodges decorate the promenades.

You can stroll over the piers which jut far out into the sea, like in the bygone golden age. Rustic fishing villages and thatched brine huts stretch along a narrow strip between the Baltic Sea and Achterwasser lagoons. You can enjoy one of the most beautiful views from the small hill Streckelsberg near Koserow.

In the unspoilt hinterland of the seaside resorts, it is not difficult to

While the seaside resorts are strung like pearls along the 42 kilometre long sandy beach, the green hinterlands of the sun island fascinate with its rustic thatched houses and untouched nature. The contrast of sea, beach, nature and rural idyll makes the cycle tour on Usedom an ever-changing pleasure.

Idyllic stop: The small harbour in the Baltic resort of Karlshagen.

guess why the entire island was declared a Nature Park. It is characterised by hills covered with forests and blossoming rapeseed fields, small lakes and secret moors. The Lieper Winkel is an insider’s tip for those looking for tranquillity. More birds than people frolic on the flat flat peninsula in the Achterwasser

Beloved summer freshness: Over 100 years ago, wealthy city dwellers made their pilgrimage to Usedom. That is what gave the island the nickname of “Berlin’s bathtub”. Today, more and more people searching for relaxation discover the Baltic resorts and the dreamy inland by bicycle.

The journey around the “small sea”, Lake Müritz, is without doubt one of the most beautiful experiences for every cycle and nature fan. It starts in Waren (Müritz) and leads into the paradisiacal solitude of Müritz National Park. The rustic forests, enchanted moors and crystal clear lakes on the east shore are like a wildly romantic garden of Eden. Cranes, deer and sea eagles are the indomitable rulers here.

From the northern bank of Lake Müritz, Germany’s biggest inland lake, the well-developed cycle route leads cyclists away from the old town of Waren (Müritz), past the town harbour, straight into Müritz N ­ ational Park. It is recommended to use the Müritz National Park ticket in order to discover all the attractions in the extensive reserve. A visit to the Müritzeum is worthwhile.

The motifs of the greatest Romantic painter are still present in and around Greifswald today - the market square, the museum harbour with its historic ships and the ruins of Eldena Abbey.

in Schwaan with a visit to the accessible Kunstmühle (windmill art museum) and a piece of Prasselkuchen (a cake made with puff pastry). Return to Rostock by regional train. The Schwaan and Rostock train stations are barrier-free.

Tip: If you take the tour in the other direction, then the gradient at Huckstorf is a thrilling descent!

3 | Stettin Lagoon with a sailing trip · 20 km The border town Altwarp is the starting point for

the cycle tour. Before setting off, one should enjoy some fish in this ancient fishing village. It smells of juniper, the signposted asphalt path in a good condition goes via Vogelsang-Warsin and Bellin towards the lagoon town of Ueckermünde. This is the home harbour for the wheelchair sailing boat “Wappen von Ueckermünde”. Sign up for Germany’s first tall ship! Up to four wheelchair users can hoist the sails themselves on day trips and multi-day tours.

4 | Lake Müritz National Park · 34 km The spa resort of Waren (Müritz) is the starting point for this beautiful cycle tour. From Federow it’s off on surfaced sand paths through the Lake Müritz National Park. The accessible pier jutting into the Lake Priesterbäker offers a good view. From Rechlin you return to Waren (Müritz) with the accessible ships of the “Weisse Flotte”.

Barrier-free: Wheelchair users and handbiker can travel the country unlimitedly in more and more places. Many attractions, such as the MÜRITZEUM in Waren (Müritz) offer barrier-free access.
