very small border crossing, the cycle path on the Polish side is top, on the German side it's a flop, but according to locals it's been in planning for over 10 years...

The cycle path on the Polish side is excellent. From the German side, the route continues on a dirt road. Good tires are helpful.

connector from the end of the road in Rieth to the border crossing with PL and the bicycle path. Perhaps in the future it will be done, for now it is a primer, from the side of the fence in Rieth heavily sanded on a section of 50 meters.

Dirt - gravel end of the access to the tiny port in Rieth. I don't know why maps show no directions. There is no problem with getting to the shore. By the port, a small camping area and a booth with delicious matjes
