Cycling day trip from Stralsund to Greifswald

Stralsund to Greifswald Cycling Route

Kick off your ride in Stralsund, a UNESCO-listed old Hanseatic city known for its medieval charm, brick Gothic architecture, and gateway to Rügen island. The route to Greifswald takes you about 87 km south through the tranquil landscapes of Western Pomerania, mostly on smooth cycleways and peaceful roads—a real gem if you love car-free riding!

Pedal past coastal plains and sleepy villages, enjoying the fresh Baltic breeze. The ascent is gentle, so it’s a leisurely cruise whether you’re a seasoned rider or weekend warrior. About two-thirds of your ride hugs soft asphalt, while the rest is a mix of paving stones and concrete, so your tires (and legs) will be happy.

Greifswald, your destination, is a lively university city with a lovely old town, cozy harborside cafés, and a youthful, welcoming vibe. Take a breather on the market square and soak up some Hanseatic history—you’ve earned it!
