The cycle path between Ralswiek and Lietzow on Rügen is a real highlight for everyone who loves the water and the tranquility of the Bodden landscape. It is part of the well-known Baltic Sea Coast Cycle Route and connects two historically significant places in a very picturesque way.

The cycle path along the B96 is one of the most ambitious and, at the same time, most tedious infrastructure projects in northeastern Germany. Since the Federal Highway 96 is a central artery running from Zittau in the south to Sassnitz on Rügen in the north, the situation for cyclists varies greatly depending on the section.
