Cycle tour along the Oder and Neisse rivers from Zittau to Usedom Island

Enjoy the tranquillity of nature - on the way to the sea


The Oder-Neisse Cycle Route begins in Nova Ves in the Czech Republic and runs a good 32 kilometres through the Czech Republic via Liberec before crossing the border into Germany. On this cycle tour along the Oder-Neisse Cycle Path from Zittau to Usedom, you cycle along almost the entire cycle path to Ueckermünde and then continue your cycle tour to the sunny island of Usedom.

Along the easternmost cycle path in Germany, your journey always takes you along the border to the neighbouring country Poland. The European city of Görlitz, the Fürst Pückler Park in Bad Muskau, the rose town of Forst, the Oderbruch or the Szczecin Lagoon are just some of the many interesting stops on your varied cycle tours. North of the stage town of Schwedt, the route becomes somewhat hilly, but all the more interesting for it. Shortly before Ueckermünde, the wooded landscape changes to the flat area of the Oderhaff, from where you can almost smell the Baltic Sea.
