Peenetal Moor Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Declared a NSG north of Anklam along the Peene since 1979. In the course of the renaturation, the old cycle path along the main road was flooded and therefore had to be raised.

The lift bridge at Karnin can be seen from a distance, if you drive from Zecherin to Usedom. A detour is worthwhile. Here are some more information:

"Since 1876, especially the Berlin guests drove over the Karniner bridge in their" Berlin bathtub ", as Usedom has always been affectionately called .. In the 30s of the 20th century, the bridge no longer met the increased traffic requirements and was modernized in 1933 and in Thanks to the lift technology, the new lift technology enabled the tracks to be lifted and lowered within a maximum of three minutes, allowing the Peenestrom to remain accessible even to large cargo ships in the mid-30s Every year, 52 trains roared over the 350-meter-long bridge - including 12 express trains - during the retreat before the Russian troops, the German Wehrmacht blew up the Karnin bridge and with it the railway connection to the mainland for the next 50 years.

What remained was the lifting part of the Karniner Bridge. In 1990 the Reichsbahn wanted to demolish this testimony of German railway history. A citizens' initiative was born. It is thanks to their commitment that the technical monument has been placed under protection and still stands out of the water in the Peenestrom.

A conflicting tour with highlights, but also not so beautiful sections. From Karnin to the B110 the road was very bumpy. Parts of the tour were on separate bike paths, but along the main roads (quite noisy when there was traffic). Anklam offers itself for a break. The tower of the Nikolaikirche on the market can be climbed. From km …

DWD issues a warning about severe heat stress! Should I cycle there? I'm cycling! First stop, Anklam Hansefest. Lots going on at the Peene. The Peene swimmers have the best place today. ( Heat )
On the Haff-Seen-Radweg it goes via Relzow, Libnow, over the Zecheriner bridge to Karnin. The path offers everything: asphalt, gravel, forest path with beautiful beeches. …

To get from the island of Usedom to the mainland, you only need to use one of the access bridges. That's why we cycle from Usedom over the Zecheriner Bridge on this tour. The road leads right through a pretty nature reserve.
