Szczecin Lagoon Cycle Route in West Pomerania

The waterside sections of the Szczecin Lagoon Cycle Route are some of the most scenic and memorable parts of the journey. On the Polish side, about 40 kilometers of the route around Szczecin Lagoon and Lake Dąbie are covered in gravel. Similarly, on the German side, 10 kilometers of pleasant gravel paths run between Bugewitz and Anklam. While gravel wasn’t the preferred surface, it was chosen to protect the delicate dike structures, which couldn’t handle more durable asphalt. It's worth noting that gravel is generally a second-choice surface in cycling tourism due to the higher costs and difficulty of maintenance for local authorities. Cyclists visiting the route in spring 2024 might encounter areas where erosion has affected the gravel paths, with temporary reinforcements in place to prevent further damage. More:
