View of the Baltic Sea from Südost-Rügen Biosphere Reserve

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is definitely not a tip for road cyclists. Kilometers of coarse gravel or sandy paths and finally deep sand on slopes is a highlight for road bike wearers.

View of the Baltic Sea and chalk cliffs from Waldhalle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you can see that nature takes back what belongs to her. Since some parts of the forest hall fell down the coast, the rest was torn down. But the view of the Baltic Sea is wonderful.

A very nice route, past the Granitz hunting lodge, the Black Lake, an old tree that is well worth seeing (separated a little from the rest of the area), past an ominous grave of a Finnish warrior who had borrowed …

Before heading home and back to everyday life, there was a small final round through the Granitz on Rügen.

The start was in Sellin and from there to the Granitz hunting lodge. After a short break and a cold Alster we continued towards Schwarzer See. From here a path leads to the steep bank, which then ended in Sellin.
