Lake Schmachter

Highlight • Lake

And yet a beach holiday in Binz is much more than just enjoying the Baltic Sea with a view of the chalk cliffs.

The Schmachter See in the hinterland of Binz is perfectly connected to Binz via cycle paths and unfolds its greatest magic before sunset. Just a few minutes from the Baltic Sea beach, you shouldn't miss the detour here.

May 26, 2022,Fahrradtour Vatertagsrunde mit viel,viel Wind 💨💨💨

We started this morning without a fixed plan. A detour to the vintage car museum in Prora, then we drove to the port of Sassnitz. Strong wind and sometimes real gusts accompanied us on our tour today.
A small part of the tour leads on the country road and over two bridges. You should be alert and cautious there.

Started in Sassnitz and went through the harbor to the "Practice with a sea view". Admired the view from the Wissow cliffs. Through forests and across the country to Prora. A short detour to Binz. There isn't really a proper bike path at the ferry port in Sassnitz. It is signposted as a bike path, but it is more of …

Unfortunately, a small section beyond Sassnitz has to be negotiated by road. Otherwise, there are good bike paths, and beach access is everywhere if you want to cool off. The sand gets finer the closer you get to Binz.

May 15, 2024,Sassnitz Hafen und Prora

From Binz via Prora on well-developed cycle paths and through beautiful pine forests. A good distance behind Prora we had to switch to the road and then at the industrial port we were able to switch back to the cycle path until just before Sassnitz. From here on it is a narrow combined cycle/pedestrian path.

Today only a small tour along the coast. You can see the sandy beach (just great and always clear water)
In Prora Hitler built high-rise buildings that have a length of 4.2 km, of course already renovated in the picture.
