Cycle tour along the Oder and Neisse rivers from Zittau to Usedom Island
Enjoy the tranquillity of nature - on the way to the sea
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.
