On the cycling route through the Lewitz, cyclists are led through Germany’s largest contiguous meadow landscape. The 95 km long circular route passes through villages with typical thatched farmhouses and small village churches. The paths run along fields, pastures, and watercourses and through the Lewitz forest, which was once a ducal hunting ground. Particularly noteworthy places in the Lewitz, such as Neustadt-Glewe with its castle, the historic Pingelhof, and Crivitz with its Gothic church, lie directly on the route. The Lewitz cycling route can be done as a day trip by ambitious cyclists. Those who want to take their time to explore the region will find suitable hotels and guesthouses for overnight stays in Banzkow, Spornitz, Garwitz, Neustadt-Glewe, and Crivitz along the route.

Author’s recommendation

The museum at Neustadt-Glewe Castle is a bit of a hidden gem.

The route is continuously signposted (green bike and tree on white background). Paths generally easy to cycle, few stages involving use of roads with traffic: Watch out for car traffic especially during commuter hours. Mostly flat and even terrain, few elevations. Often fresh wind.

Tips and suggestions

The Lewitz is particularly beautiful in spring (especially May) and autumn. Then the impressive flocks of birds can be observed particularly well. In the second half of October, the leaves of the trees are in full autumn splendor, and harvest festivals take place.
