As a nature lover, you can look forward to the so sparsely populated landscape from Frankfurt/Oder to the Baltic Sea. It is especially beautiful that the Oder-Neisse cycle path leads through the middle of the charming Oderbruch. Shortly after Schwedt, however, the Oder says goodbye, flowing into Poland from here on. You can now look forward to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and the Oderhaff. You will be immersed in a slightly hilly, densely wooded landscape. On beautiful bike paths and small roads you will quietly reach the pretty town of Ueckermünde on the Szczecin Lagoon. With a small ferry you will cross over to Usedom and enjoy the beautiful island with its famous seaside resorts.

This trip is perfect for:

  • History enthusiasts: There are numerous historic towns along the North Sea coast.
  • Undecided travellers: Don't just decide on one destination, take a look at two and cycle along the German-Polish border.
  • Nature lovers: You'll get your money's worth on this tour.

Highlights

Frankfurt / Oder
Frankfurt / Oder looks back on a varied and important history. Today, for example, the town hall and St. Mary's Church from the 13th century still bear witness to the power and wealth of the former trading and Hanseatic city.

Lubusz Heights
The Lebuser Land - located north of Frankfurt (Oder) - is situated in front of the Oderbruch. The small town of Lebus offers magnificent views over the Oder landscape and is ideal for cycling and hiking tours.

Lower Oder Valley National Park
The Lower Oder Valley National Park, Germany's only floodplain national park, protects the last river mouth in Central Europe that is still largely intact, with its adjacent slopes, mixed deciduous forests and flower-rich dry grasslands.

Ueckermünde
The small town of Ueckermünde lies dreamily and gently nestled between the Ueckermünde Heath and the Szczecin Lagoon far in the east of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Usedom
Usedom is the second largest island in Germany. Explore the rare flora and fauna, green avenues, marshy lowlands and salt marshes - an Eldorado for all nature lovers!

Tour

Arrive early so that you have some time to explore Frankfurt an der Oder. Visit something special in the heart of the city, St. Mary's Church. Marvel at the largest hall church in North German brick Gothic architecture and admire the three medieval choir windows with restored biblical stained glass windows, which were returned from St. Petersburg in 2002.

Just north of Frankfurt, you will cycle over the Lebuser Heights, which offer wonderful views over the Oder Valley. Marvel at Brandenburg's last post mill in the Oder Valley, which was drained 250 years ago. If you want to shorten today's stage, you can take the train for the first few kilometres to Küstrin. In Küstrin, the overgrown ruins of the former old town, which was completely destroyed in 1945, leave a deep impression. Enjoy the remaining kilometres at a leisurely pace on your bike.

Today you should plan a side trip to the ship lift Niederfinow, an impressive technical masterpiece from the last century that is still in operation. In the afternoon you cycle through the Lower Oder Valley National Park. The visitor center is well worth a visit, where you will get an impression of the rich flora and fauna on and in the Oder River.

Today it is time to say goodbye to the Oder River, which continues to flow on Polish territory shortly after Mescherin. The route continues through hilly countryside to Penkun with its late Renaissance castle in a picturesque lakeside location. Passing Krackow with its carriage museum you cycle to the 1000 year old oak tree in Löcknitz.

Cycle through the Ueckermünder Heide heathland and along Lake Neuwarper See towards the Szczecin Lagoon. Look forward to visiting Ueckermünde with its picturesque town centre, St. Mary's Church, harbour and Pomeranian Castle! A beautiful cycle path leads from Ueckermünder Harbour directly to the sandy beach, so nothing stands in the way of a swim at the end of the day!

Early in the morning, you will take the ferry to Karnin on Usedom and continue along beautiful cycle paths to the coast. Enjoy the sun, beach and sea on the holiday island of Usedom. You will spend the last night of your cycling tour on Usedom in one of the imperial spas (Bansin, Heringsdorf and Ahlbeck) or in one of the amber spas (Zempin, Koserow, Loddin and Ückeritz).

Look forward to a beautiful day on Usedom. The wonderful beach and the beach promenade want to be enjoyed. If you like, you can make an excursion on the slightly undulating and varied cycle path along the coast in the direction of Peenemünde. In between, you can always take a break for a swim or stop for a bite to eat in a quaint little fish stall (snack bar).

Today your beautiful bike tour ends after breakfast at your hotel on Usedom. We are happy to book you additional nights on the vacation island.
