Cycling day trip from Szczecin to Ahlbeck

Get ready for a scenic ride from the bustling Polish city of Szczecin to the charming seaside resort of Ahlbeck in Germany! This 52 km route weaves you out of the historic heart of Szczecin—famous for its grand Pomeranian Dukes' Castle and lively riverfront—northwest toward the Baltic coast.

Most of the journey rolls smoothly along well-paved cycleways and quiet roads, so you can really relax and enjoy lakes, woodlands, and the gentle countryside. Expect some gentle climbs here and there, but nothing too tricky—just enough to make the coastal views at the end feel like a reward.

As you approach Ahlbeck, get ready for a change of atmosphere: this spa town on Usedom Island is known for its elegant 19th-century pier, classic beach huts, and a real vacation vibe. Don’t forget to stop for an ice cream or a stroll on the beach before heading back!

Pro tip: Be sure to bring your passport, since you’ll be crossing the Polish-German border during your ride!
