The cycle path on the Polish side is excellent. From the German side, the route continues on a dirt road. Good tires are helpful.

Dirt - gravel end of the access to the tiny port in Rieth. I don't know why maps show no directions. There is no problem with getting to the shore. By the port, a small camping area and a booth with delicious matjes
