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.

If you are in Ralswiek on Rügen – especially on the way to the Störtebeker Festival – a gradient of 11% is definitely something to keep in mind (and in your braking foot). The steep gradient mainly affects the B196/Landstraße in the direction of the town of Ralswiek. Since Ralswiek is located directly on the Großer Jasmunder Bodden, the terrain drops quite steeply from the surrounding hill ranges down to the shore.

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.

The White Tower and the adjacent riverbank are among the rather hidden but historically fascinating corners of the island of Rügen – more precisely near Putbus in the district of Neuendorf. The White Tower is a striking, whitewashed building directly on the coast of the Greifswalder Bodden.

The pier in Lietzow on Rügen is a real insider tip for anyone who likes it a bit quieter and more rustic. In contrast to the mondaine, long piers in Sellin or Binz, Lietzow captivates with its very own, almost enchanted charm.

The bike tour from Lübeck to Stralsund with the E-Byke and E-Herrenrad starts on September 20, 2025. My sister and I will be staying overnight there, and the next day the bike tour continues from Wismar to Rostock, where we will spend the second night. Then we will be from Rostock to Prerow, where we will spend the last night, and then from Prerow to Stralsund by bike. We will have completed a wonderful bike tour. Have a safe bike ride and enjoy your hiking, your expert Thomas from Bergen auf Rügen.
