Through the Peenetal to the Baltic Sea

Today the journey goes through the wide undulating landscape of Mecklenburg Switzerland to the Reuterstadt Stavenhagen. Anyone interested in the Low German literature of the local writer Fritz Reuter will find comprehensive information in the Reuter Museum there. Over 1000-year-old oak trees can be admired not far from Stavenhagen near Ivenack.

Past the Malchiner See to the Kummerower See, which marks the beginning of the Peene.
From Verchen on Lake Kummerow you follow the course of the Peenetal to Demmin in Western Pomerania.

On the way to Loitz, an observation tower at the upper edge of the valley offers a spectacular view of the expanse of the river, its tributaries, reed beds and islets. Time to observe the birdlife and life on the river. The landscape around the river valley becomes increasingly flat and the wide sky over Western Pomerania accompanies your journey to or from Anklam.

Anklam was badly damaged in World War II. The history of the city is documented in a permanent exhibition in the Marienkirche. The museum dedicated to the aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal is a must (own). We continue either to the Anklamer ferry Usedom or around the Peene Delta on the bike path to the Anklamer Bridge to the island Usedom. On the lagoon side you cycle up to the imperial baths. A short detour to Kamminke rewards the cyclist with a wide view of the Szczecin Lagoon above the village.

Into the hustle and bustle of the baths. The cyclist rides in the 1st row along the coast on the cycle path with a view of the Baltic Sea. Perhaps you would like to visit the Polish town of Świnoujście before continuing on to the northern part of the island to Wolgast. The cycle path goes along the more than 8 km long promenade to Swinemünde. The old seaside resort has its charm and enjoys a wide, sometimes sophisticated beach promenade with restaurants, cafés and shops. Follow the Baltic Coast Cycle Path up to Peenemünde and back along the Storm to the Hanseatic city of Wolgast.

Wolgast was once a princely residence of the Pomeranian dukes. But also the city of the painter Philipp Otto Runge. A 19th century artist of the Romantic period. Your journey follows the mainland side of the river to Freest, famous for its fishermen's carpets, and on to the seaside resort of Lubmin. Now the Greifswalder Bodden on the right hand side forms the lake scenery of your cycle tour with the destination and the city silhouette of Greifswald in the west. Greifswald is a university town and is home to the Pomeranian State Museum, which shows the history of the state and a collection of paintings worth seeing to the interested visitor.
