Anklamer Torfmoor Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

A fantastic habitat for fauna and flora. Migratory bird flocks, in particular, benefit from the abundance of food during their regular migrations between their breeding grounds and winter quarters. Hopefully, this piece of nature will remain intact.

Peenetal Moor Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Declared a NSG north of Anklam along the Peene since 1979. In the course of the renaturation, the old cycle path along the main road was flooded and therefore had to be raised.

Anklam's Stadtbruch Wetlands

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

Beautiful nature reserve but not for racing bikes - 2/3 of the route (northern part) are gravel roads with no possibility to turn off the path again

White mountain

Highlight • Viewpoint

This tour is highly recommended. However, there is not enough gastronomy. Be sure to take water with you. There is only a drinking water tap on the nature campsite.

Cycle path - a section of the R66 route around the Szczecin Lagoon. A straight, gravel section right next to the Szczecin Lagoon floodplains. A firm and smooth ride. Picturesque views.

The Unteres Peenetal (Peenetalmoor) nature reserve is a vast wetland area of around 1,500 hectares, located in the Peene River Valley near Anklam. It protects unique peat bogs and flood meadows that were formed after the last ice age. Today, it is one of the most valuable wetland areas in Germany, with a rich flora and fauna – rare species of butterflies, water birds and birds of prey can be found here. As part of the Peenetal project, work has been carried out for years to restore natural water conditions.

The nature reserve is very extensive, with numerous birds to see and a small observation tower. A bird was perched on almost every dead tree. The nature reserve is accessible via a well-maintained bike path.

The scenery is really beautiful. The gravel path is so solid that - contrary to what other comments say - you can ride it on a racing bike if you want to take in the scenery.

The Gnitz peninsula is a place full of beauty and very remote. Around the middle of the 19th century, in addition to the nobles, the parish and the sexton, the village only had around 10 houses and 165 residents. Gnitz is now a popular holiday resort and excursion destination with beautiful hiking trails and cycle paths directly in the nature conservation paradise.
