Cycling day trip from Bergen auf Rügen to Ostseebad Binz

This scenic cycling route takes you from Bergen auf Rügen, the heart of Germany’s largest island, all the way to the beautiful seaside resort of Ostseebad Binz. Starting in the charming old town of Bergen, known for its historic St. Mary's Church and timber-framed houses, you'll pedal roughly 29 kilometers mostly on smooth pavement and asphalt, cruising through Rügen’s peaceful countryside.

The ride is mostly flat, with a gentle ascent and a slightly steeper descent, maxing out at just under 81 meters elevation—so you’ll get great views without too much hard work. About two-thirds of the route follows pleasant paths away from traffic, with only brief stretches on busier roads. Keep an eye out for lush beech forests, rolling fields, and glimpses of the island's famous chalk cliffs as you approach the coast.

Your journey ends in Binz, one of the Baltic Sea’s top holiday spots, famous for its seaside promenade, beautiful sandy beach, and classic resort architecture. Perfect for a rewarding dip or coffee by the water when you arrive!
