Cycling day trip from Zingst to Born

Get ready for a scenic ride from Zingst to Born on the beautiful Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula! Starting in the vibrant seaside resort of Zingst, known for its broad beaches and relaxed Baltic Sea vibes, you’ll cruise through coastal forests and open meadows—perfect for spotting local birds if you’re lucky.

The route is about 21 km long, mostly flat, and mixes up surfaces: you’ll hit plenty of paved and asphalt paths for smooth rolling, plus some fun stretches of gravel and compacted unpaved tracks, adding a little bit of adventure (but nothing too wild). It’s a super chill ride, with only gentle rises, and most of the time you’ll be on cycling paths or quiet roads.

When you arrive in Born, a charming little village nestled among reed beds and forests on the Bodden lagoon, take a moment to enjoy its thatched-roof houses and peaceful waterfront. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed end-of-ride break. Bring your camera—you’ll want to remember the view!
