Beautiful beach with (thankfully!) a traffic-calmed country road and a good bike path.

A well-maintained beach with a sweeping view of the water. Food and drink are available at the mini-golf course or at the campsite (which also houses the Oase restaurant). The "Zierow Strand" bus stop is approximately 200 meters from the beach. A bus to Wismar departs every hour (30 minutes to the central bus station).

Somehow, I don't understand such highlights. This HL is supposed to describe the entire circuit around Schwerin's Outer Lake? For example, from Seehof to Seehof? And what's along the way for 35 km? There are tons of HLs. Komoot rule... Don't set tours as HLs. By the way, on the other side of the Outer Lake... Loose, powdered sand without end...almost only accessible by mountain bike.
