With cycling friends from the Stralsund ADFC we went to the island of Ummanz on Rügen, on the way we saw parts of the Vorpommern Boddenlandschaft National Park along the nearby coast🚴 a unique sight. Tankow bird watching point with a panoramic view of salt marshes and Bodden waters. Nature and landscape are a very beautiful day with cycling friends.

September 7, 2021,Ostseeküstenradweg: Rügen - Von Stralsund nach Gingst

Here is some information about the Ummanz dike cycle path. I read in various comments on this cycle path that it is forbidden for cyclists. That is not completly correct. The upper part at Salzer Moor and Hooger Nurden has not been released. But the lower part that I rode is an official foot and bike path. The signage is …

I haven't ridden for a while and felt like it again!

Almost ideal cycling weather, or I chose exactly the right clothes 😇 I also used the heated socks (on a low setting) for the first time since the summer! 🤫

With sun and little wind I felt like cycling to Ummanz again today!
(I last did it on 11/15/22, but it was gray in gray then...)

Also a round that I like to drive again and again......🙂

The first stage was characterized by intense heat (30 degrees Celsius) and initially poor farmland and field paths, but from Rambin onwards, things improved considerably. However, you are rewarded with magnificent views over the Sound and the Baltic Sea.
The loop via Ummanz is definitely worth it.

With nice weather, temperatures around freezing point and only very weak wind, it should be a "little" lap again today!
Of course, I had all of my heated clothing with me or on again, because without it it would be too cold after a relatively short time!
But it was nice again and a relaxed tour!
You had to be …
