Yes, these ascents and descents can be very strenuous, but it's also fun to conquer the "mountains".

Three times 16% - is that now 48%? No, but it's still exhausting - especially with complete camping equipment

Beautiful paved bike path, it's a pity that it is not developed like this on the entire island.

Nice route, very hilly. Short crisp climbs, mostly in the forest.

But I found it very good. If you don't want it to be so mountainous, you should simply drive next to the B 111, the bike path is easier but a little longer.

This route from Heringsdorf to Karlshagen is very beautiful for cyclists, because of the colorful buildings, beautiful Boulevard and also challenging because of the climbs. There are many opportunities along the way to visit the Strand and the Ostsee. Even without an E-Bike. But a good condition is conducive.....
