Excursión ciclista de un día de Ueckermünde a Usedom

Ready for a lovely ride through Mecklenburg-Vorpommern? Your route kicks off in Ueckermünde, a charming Hanseatic town on the shores of the Szczecin Lagoon. Take a moment to check out the old castle or stroll its pretty harbor before you hop on your bike.

You’re headed to the island of Usedom, often dubbed the “sunniest place in Germany.” The journey is an easy 39 km, mostly on smooth paved surfaces and quiet roads, with hardly any serious hills – you’ll conquer just about 65 meters of ascent.

The scenery is typically North German: tranquil meadows, serene woodlands, and glimpses of water that keep the ride fresh and breezy. Some patches might get a little gravelly or mixed with paving stones, but it’s nothing your average trekking bike can’t handle.

Arriving on Usedom, you’ll be greeted by the island’s famous wide beaches and seaside resorts. Maybe reward yourself with a dip in the Baltic or a Fischbrötchen at one of the beach stalls. It’s a ride that’s both peaceful and packed with fresh northern air!
