Benz is idyllically located on the edge of the Usedom Island Nature Park and offers a breathtaking landscape with forests, lakes and rivers. The region is known for its peace and tranquillity as well as its mild climate - ideal for relaxing all year round.

Most relevant for tourism are the historical sights such as the medieval church of St. Petri or Mellenthin Castle from the 16th century. The nearby beach on the Baltic Sea also attracts visitors.

Cultural highlights can also be discovered: The annual Usedom Music Festival attracts international artists, while the Chapeau Rouge theatre tent stages local productions.

For culinary delights, regional specialities such as fish dishes or potato soup with smoked meat from the surrounding farms.

Outdoor activities can vary depending on the season: In summer, bicycle tours through the picturesque landscape are inviting, while in winter, ice skating on the frozen lake or skiing in the hills are possible.

Even when it rains, you can be entertained in Benz - for example, with a visit to the local history museum or a cosy cup of tea in one of the many cafés.

It is especially beautiful in Benz in spring, when nature awakens and everything is green and blossoming. But autumn with its colourful leaves also has a special charm.

    Bei feinsten Wetter konnte ich die Tour in Angriff nehmen. Die Streckenführung hat auf meinem Garmin gut geklappt, ein zwei, drei stellen kommt man nicht mehr durch, da dies wohl mittlerweile Privatgrundstücke sind. Eine Alternative Route war aber immer schnell gefunden. Landschaftlich gut, wobei es meiner Meinung nach wenig zu sehen gab, die Strecke wird von Agrarwegen mit angrenzenden Feldern dominiert, und man denkt manchmal das die Region ausgestorben ist 😉, okay ich bin außerhalb der Saison gefahren, aber es war abschnittsweise sehr einsam. Die angesetzte Zeit mit 11h Stunden ist großzügig eingeplant, ich stamme aus einer Bergigen Region und bin anderes gewöhnt, daher habe ich die gesamte Strecke mit knapp 8 Stunden abgefahren. Alles in allem war es eine schöne Tour, die sicher für jeden etwas bereithält.

    Eine tolle Radfahrtour. Etwas spärlich ist "Pudagla" am weg von Ahlbeck angeschrieben. Geheimtipp: In Pudagla..gleich nach dem Schloss: "Heiko's Radlerglück". Ein so netter super liebevoll gepflegter Garten ...und darin der Kl. Imbissladen mit Bismarkbrötchen..Bratwurst..und Fassbier. Danke Heiko! :-)

    Ich bin die Strecke von Bansin nach Zinnowitz gefahren. Die Strecke verlief zu größtem Teil durch den Wald und war sehr hügelig auf teilweise etwas steinigen Wegen, was ich persönlich sehr gut fand, aber für nicht so erfahrene Radfahrer eine Belastung darstellen kann. Dafür wäre auch z.B. ein Pedelec geeignet. Die Strecke ist sehr beliebt und auch gut ausgeschildert.
