Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Waren à Güstrow

This cycling route takes you from the picturesque lakeside town of Waren (Müritz) to the historic city of Güstrow—about 81 km of riding through the scenic Mecklenburg countryside. Waren is right on the edge of Müritz National Park, a paradise for birdwatchers and nature lovers, while Güstrow boasts a stunning Renaissance palace and rich artistic heritage (don’t miss the Ernst Barlach museums!).

The ride is mostly on quiet roads and smooth asphalt, with some stretches of paving stones and the occasional unpaved track keeping things interesting. Expect some rolling hills for a moderate challenge—about 440 meters up and a bit more down. You’ll pass through meadows, forests, and idyllic villages, with plenty of chances to stop and soak up that rural northern German vibe.

Perfect for a relaxed day trip, especially if you love mixing history, nature, and a bit of adventure. At the end, Güstrow’s charming Altstadt and peaceful lakeside are great spots to unwind. Don’t forget your camera!
