Cycling day trip from Rechlin to Waren

This ride from Rechlin to Waren is a scenic 31 km adventure through the heart of the Mecklenburg Lake District — perfect for anyone who enjoys tranquil lakeside views and a touch of adventure. You’ll start in Rechlin, a cozy small town known for its aviation history and as the gateway to Müritz National Park.

Most of your ride rolls over paved or smooth asphalt (about 62%), but be prepared for some unpaved bits, loose gravel, and the occasional stretch of paving stones — nothing too gnarly, just enough to keep things interesting! The elevation gains and drops are gentle, so you don’t have to be a mountain goat.

As you pedal north, you’ll roll along quiet paths, forest tracks, and peaceful village roads — barely any traffic and tons of nature. The destination, Waren, sits pretty on the shores of Lake Müritz and is a lively waterside town with old-world charm, bustling cafés, and access to boat tours. Once you arrive, grab an ice cream by the harbor and enjoy the laid-back lakeside vibes!
