Cycling Holiday on Usedom

Welcome to the Baltic Sea. Your cycling holiday on Usedom, Germany's second largest island, begins in Mellenthin. After checking in at the hotel, grab your bike and explore the town. Take advantage of one of the many bathing opportunities at Achterwasser, Schmollensee or Gothensee.

After breakfast, you cycle to Swinemünde. On the way, you will pass the well-known Baltic seaside resorts of Heringsdorf and Bansin. You can let the wind blow around your nose on one of the piers. The port city of Swinemünde is spread across a group of islands and is located at the far north-western tip of Poland. Explore the town center with its historic town hall, the Church of Christ the King and enjoy the view of the Baltic Sea from the promenade.

First, get to know the Baltic seaside resort of Zinnowitz on your cycling holiday on Usedom. Watch the waves crashing on the beach and the trees of the coastal forest swaying in the wind. Continue to Wolgast, the second overnight stop on your trip. This multi-faceted town impresses with its combination of tradition and modernity. In the old town, you will notice the beautiful facades of the historic town houses. Equally striking is the Peene Bridge, which is also known as the Blue Wonder thanks to its striking paint job.

After your first night in Wolgast, head to Peenemünde, the northernmost municipality on Usedom. The town is known for a test facility for rocket development during the Second World War. In the Historical-Technical Museum Peenemünde, you can learn all about the events and history of the time. Just a stone's throw away, the Maritim Museum gives you an insight into a submarine and the world of the navy. A ferry (included) then takes you to the mainland to Freest. You cycle back to Wolgast.

Your cycling holiday on Usedom takes you to Lassan, one of the smallest towns in Germany. Despite its size, the little town has a lot to offer. The town church of St. Johannis, remnants of the medieval town wall, the Lassan mill and restored half-timbered houses adorn the village. The forests in the surrounding area and the location by the water add to the special flair. You cycle through Buggenhagen, where you can visit the manor house. It houses the Till Richter Museum and exhibits contemporary art. You then cycle back to Mellenthin.

A magnificent avenue of chestnut trees leads you along challenging cycle paths to the Lieper Winkel peninsula. The most famous village is Rankwitz. Thatched half-timbered houses and fishermen's cottages give the village that certain something. In the tranquillity of the seemingly endless forests and fields of the peninsula, you cycle past the Suckow oak tree, which is estimated to be between 700 and 1000 years old. It is over 20 meters high and is one of the oldest natural monuments in Usedom. You return to Mellenthin full of beautiful impressions.
