The cycle route leads from Berlin to Usedom on the Baltic Sea. There is a lot to discover on the drive to Usedom.
Route profile
The cycle route sign shows the way.
- Length: 337 km (Berlin-Buch to the Baltic Sea)
- Signs: consistently quite proper cycle route signs (green letters on a white background). However, you have to be very attentive so as not to overlook individual signs.
- Slopes:The path is largely flat. However, one should not underestimate the wind. There are significant gradients on the off-road bike path along the Werbellinsee and on the path leading through the forest in front of Joachimsthal and in the local area of Joachimsthal.Only then does it become almost mountainous again on the island of Usedom. If you take the ferry from Ueckermünde directly to the island, you will be surprised by a very poisonous slope in the village of Kamminke, which is hardly manageable with a luggage-laden bike.
- Condition of the path: long stretches of paved roads or good concrete slab paths. However, there are some nasty slips, i.e. sections of the route that are actually hardly accessible by bike or only with a fully sprung bike (very bad cobblestones, asphalt with broken roots). Particularly noteworthy are the ramps to the bridges over the A 11 north of Biesenthal. Particular caution is required there because the road surface consists of so-called cat hump pavement, which is still dangerous even on foot. If you choose the official alternative route via Eberswald, this also applies to the motorway crossing in the direction of Finowfurth. This alternative route leads along the Finow Canal briefly over a forest path that is easy to drive on. When assessing the state of the path, it is generally important to note that there may be short-term changes for the bad but also for the good.
- Traffic load: largely on separate cycle paths, partly alongside the road. Behind Joachimsthal, the official route between Joachimsthal and Glambeck leads over a country road with little traffic, which is, however, in a very poor condition. Here it is better to use the country road via Parlow to Glambeck. The official detour to Angermünde usually takes you on roads with no bike lanes, which, however, are not too heavily burdened by car traffic.
- Suitable bike: trekking bike, urban bike, gravel bike, mountain bike (conditionally racing bike)
- Family suitability: good family suitability
- Inline suitability: only in sections

Note: If you are familiar with the route, remove the heading "Key points of the route" and replace this section with a detailed route description with stages. It is best to simply work the place names into the stages. You can find instructions on how to do this here .
