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 current castle was built in 1878. The previous building was converted into a baroque castle in 1652 by Carl Gustav Wrangel, the Swedish general governor of Pomerania. In 1945 it was expropriated and occupied by the Soviet military administration. Today it is in private hands.

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.

The castle is private and not accessible, but walking (not cycling) is allowed on the park paths - it's worth it. A very well-kept facility.
