    Die Schleife in Dierhagen Strand könnte man weglassen. Dadurch kommt es zu keinen Irritationen und versehentlichen Abkürzungen, zumal die Hinweispfeile auf der Straße nicht ausreichten, um der Schleife exakt zu folgen.

    Im Frühjahr ist es eine schöne Tour, so direkt in der Natur. Im Sommer muss man aber auf Grund des geringen Wasserstands mit Einschränkungen rechnen.

    Wir haben diese Tour im Sommer 2020 gemacht und waren begeistert. Vor allem die ehemalige Wallfahrtskirche und der Gesundbrunnen in Kenz blieben uns prägend in Erinnerung. Das Recknitztal ist eine wundervolle Naturlandschaft, die in seiner Einzigartigkeit hervorragend vom Fahrrad aus erkundet werden kann. Wir konnten Rehe, Reinicke Fuchs und Greifvögel beobachten. Die Einkehr in die Ostseemühle bescherte uns bei der Rückfahrt einige Kilo mehr im Gepäck, die wir aber gerne auf uns genommen haben. Landschaftlich und historisch hat und diese Tour sehr gefallen.
