The long-distance cycle path Hamburg - to reprimand connects the northern German metropolis of Hamburg with Rügen, the largest German island, over a distance of around 520 kilometers. On the way you can see the natural beauties of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Schleswig-Holstein to get to know. There is one to discover National park, three biosphere reserves and three nature parks. But there is also a lot of cultural interest on the route, such as the historic city centers and castles.

- Hamburg – Rügen directly by bike , to GPS track in the bike travel wiki (Because the B 96 of the roads connecting to the Rügen dam is very heavily loaded and the L 29 via Garz to Putbus is not exactly quiet, and the Rügen cycle path between Rügen dam and Poseritz has a rather poor surface, Radweit offers an alternative to this via the Rügen ferry after Garz.)
