Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is the destination of many cyclists' dreams. Or even the beginning. Whether in the direction of Berlin, Hamburg, or Copenhagen - nine eventful long-distance cycle routes lead through Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's nature-rich landscapes and beyond. On well-signposted routes, each long-distance cycle route delights with its very own charm.
You can explore Mecklenburg-Vorpommern comfortably from the saddle on the long-distance cycle paths. You cycle past shimmering lakes and rushing rivers, over green hills and through dense beech forests. Well-known sights and popular excursion destinations along the individual stages invite you to go on a discovery tour beyond the cycle path. The stages can be planned individually according to your own needs. If you feel like it, you can combine two or more cycle routes – in many places, long-distance cycle routes and circular cycle routes overlap so that you can change direction at any time. Always with you: swimwear, because the nearest bathing water is always just a few meters away from the cycle path - no matter which route you choose.
The network of long-distance cycle routes is well signposted, making it easy to plan a cycle tour even without local knowledge. Many cycle tour operators also offer individual cycle tours and guided cycle tours on selected sections of the route.
