An interesting route through the forest. Two asphalt paths. Smooth and pleasant to ride. Access to the R66 route around the Szczecin Lagoon.

Cycling is currently not possible between waypoints 16 and 17. The farmer plowed up half of the unpaved road. The whole path is unpaved and filled with rainwater with so many holes. Maybe it's better in summer, but it shouldn't be designated as a cycle path. This is at the Mellenthin special landing site between Feldstr. and the B 111. Otherwise it was a very nice bike path with autumn leaves and well-paved paths and roads.

The southern tip of Gnitz is one of the most beautiful places on Usedom. From here you have a breathtaking view over the backwaters. There is also a beautiful bathing area with a sandy beach far away from the tourist crowds.

Beautiful property with a small market in the yard. However, to get there, a bridge toll of 2 euros per person has to be paid. You would get the bridge duty charged when you eat it, but that took too long for us

A fantastic habitat for fauna and flora. Migratory bird flocks, in particular, benefit from the abundance of food during their regular migrations between their breeding grounds and winter quarters. Hopefully, this piece of nature will remain intact.
