July 29, 2025,Vorher-Nacher – Prora-Bauten Runde von Ostseebad Binz Landesbahn

The second tour on the island of Rügen. This time it went from Sellin to Sassnitz. Unfortunately, it's not a tour I'd recommend. Some of the bike paths were almost impassable. Rough gravel and sand, potholed concrete slabs, and dirt paths right next to the main road. Sure, there were some nice sections between Binz and Sassnitz, but overall, it …

March 7, 2022,Nach Sassnitz und den Kreidefelsen

Ready on the bikes 🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♂️. Today we drove from Binz to Sassnitz. The route was so-so. A whole stretch of main street without a bike path, which wasn't so nice. In Prora we looked at the development of the former kdf seaside resort buildings. All super modern condos and hotels. We then drove through the forest 🌳 to the chalk …

July 29, 2025,29.07.2025 Runde von Ostseebad Binz-Prora-Sassnitz

The bike paths today ranged from very good in Binz to Prora.
In Prora, there are many renovated buildings from the Nazi era to see. It's exciting to see something meaningful happening with their reuse after so many years of inactivity. There are sufficient restaurants at the end buildings. No one has to go thirsty or hungry.

October 15, 2024,Fahrradtour Binz über Prora nach Sassnitz mit Strandwanderung u. zurück.

Recommended bike tour. Approx. 42 km and 6 km hike. The bike route consists mainly of tarred bike paths. 2 sections deviate from this. In Neu Mukran in front of the bakery to the bridge there is a narrow, bumpy path and in Prora at the youth hostel there is a bumpy concrete road from the KDF times around 1940. …

August 29, 2026,Binz: nach Sassnitz und zurück

No round today (was not feasible), but only on bike paths or roads 😉.
Stopover at the Colossus of Prora.
Previously, the complex was oppressive 🥴, today it is just overwhelming 😵‍💫.
Unfortunately, the bike path ends at Neu Mukran and only resumes at the turn-off of the L29 to the freight port 😠.
In between, plenty of 🚲🚲 and …

October 7, 2024,Sassnitz - Wissower Klippe - Prora - Binz

Started in Sassnitz and went through the harbor to the "Practice with a sea view". Admired the view from the Wissow cliffs. Through forests and across the country to Prora. A short detour to Binz. There isn't really a proper bike path at the ferry port in Sassnitz. It is signposted as a bike path, but it is more of …
