September 25, 2024,Binz-Prora

Took a little trip from Binz to Prora today.
Either it was brilliant back then or driven by megalomania. Built 4.5km long for 20,000 holidaymakers, I'm guessing megalomania.

We've reached our next vacation spot and immediately checked how to get to Binz!

Busy, but good bike paths. In Binz, you'll have to push your bike if you want to ride along the promenade, which is better. Let's see what we can explore over the next few days!
