Berlin-Usedom Cycle Path: Garz–Korswandt Forest Section

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Track with many climbs and as many fun descents. Can be exhausting (depending on how many miles you have in the legs), but worth it in any case. Partially much bicycle and pedestrian traffic.

Swinemünde has a beautiful and quite long promenade lined with many buildings in the style of seaside resort architecture. This promenade stretches (across the border) via Ahlbeck and Heringsdorf to Bansin. It is approximately 12 kilometers long.

It is also known as "the longest promenade in Europe."

Compared to Heringsdorf and Ahlbeck, Swinemünde has some unique features.

Firstly, the numerous kiosks selling food, drinks, and souvenirs are striking. Secondly, there is a small forest between the promenade and the beach. The sand that is washed away by the sea from other parts of the island is deposited in Swinemünde.

While the beach used to begin right behind the promenade, today there is sometimes a 200-meter gap between the promenade and the beach.

The sea is thus receding further and further from the Swinemünde promenade.

Swinemünde Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Cycle path along the Usedom Baltic Sea coast

The coastal cycle path runs along the Baltic Sea coast from the seaside resort of Karlshagen to the Baltic Sea resort of Ahlbeck. In this way, all the seaside resorts on the island can be reached by bike in a quiet, comfortable and direct way: After the Baltic Sea resort of Karlshagen, cyclists can reach the Baltic Sea resorts in the north of the island Trassenheide and Zinnowitz, then the four Usedom amber baths of Zempin, Koserow, Kölpinsee/Loddin and Ückeritz and then through the imperial baths of Bansin, Heringsdorf and Ahlbeck. After crossing the imperial baths, the coastal cycle path leads across the German-Polish border to the part of the western Polish port of Swinemünde on Usedom. Trained cyclists can take the Swinemünde city ferry to the neighboring island of Wollin and explore the cycle paths on Wolin.

Ahlbeck Promenade Bike Path

Highlight • Cycleway

If you like it a bit more stylish and sophisticated, run along the promenade in Ahlbeck and marvel at the great Wilhelminian style villas of the former imperial baths.

June 4, 2024,U3 Alhlbeck - Kaminke nach Stawa Młyny

Today, on our 4th day on the beautiful island of Usedom, we chose the Baltic Sea resort of Ahlbeck as the starting point for our bike tour. So we put the bikes 🚲🚲 piggyback on the 🚙 this morning and off we went. The first section from Ahlbeck to Kaminke was very demanding. The 13 kilometers were all uphill and …

A beautiful tour full of contrasts. The tranquil Kamminke with its delicious fish restaurant and, as a counterpart, Swinoujscie, where there were so many people around that you almost didn't have a chance to ride your bike. The paths through the forest are pleasant but also challenging with the inclines if you are travelling without electric support.

The start of the tour was a bit bumpy due to construction sites in Heringsdorf. From about km 4 (steep uphill stretch) to Kaminke the route was really nice. From approx. km 18 (B93, Grunwaldzka) to km 20.5, the route led along the main road to the center of Świnoujście, with a longer major construction site. After crossing the border, …

It was a lovely walk. We followed much of the Feininger Tour (The painter Lyonel Feininger explored the island of Usedom by bike in the early 20th century and found numerous motifs for his paintings. A bike tour connects the artist's favorite spots.)
The beach promenade was already very crowded for this time of year!

Our bike tour took us very comfortably along "Europe's longest beach promenade" to Świnoujście, once the third largest German seaside resort and now spruced up and filled with new, large, expensive hotels. We walk through strong winds to the "Mühlenbake", and on the journey we see Castel Sant'Angelo, the Świnoujście Fortress (both built by the Prussians around 1850) and the …
