The longest pier in Germany. The covered path to the restaurant has a transparent wall, so that the bridge is an experience even when there is a lot of wind and bad weather.

Yes, these ascents and descents can be very strenuous, but it's also fun to conquer the "mountains".

Very nice bike path. In particular, the marking of the border between Poland and Germany. It is particularly nice that you can cross the border unhindered.
