The newly paved cycle path is great. At the end of the section in the north, a short visit to the Rosenthaler Weg (cobblestone) via the A20 bridge towards Wismar is necessary, but then it continues. Otherwise, it is good to ride and with wonderful views of the surroundings.

The Rosenthaler Weg on both sides of the A20 bridge is a cobblestone path. With a road bike, the section is not a recommendation per se – but still doable. And given the well-developed cycle paths before and after, definitely an option.

The project has been highly controversial for years. While residents hope for relief, there is strong resistance from environmental groups, as the route would lead through ecologically valuable areas. Currently, planning approval procedures and consultations on noise protection measures are still ongoing.

The cycle path is mostly well-developed. If you don't want to cycle directly along the water, there's always a good paved alternative route.

The cycle path around the northern tip of the lake is a sandy track at this point and up to the fish snack bar in Bad Kleinen. It's difficult to ride even in dry weather and should be avoided during or after rain, unless you're on a mountain bike...
