Cycling tours in Sellin

In a whirlwind through the hill country

On a mountain bike ride through the Granitz we pass oak trees and the Jagdschloss on the Tempelberg. On a bike tour through the Sellin hill country we encounter the history of the region. Altensien, Neuensien, Moritzdorf and Seedorf are perfect destinations for nature lovers.

On the road by bike

In the Sellin hill country you cycle along cycle paths and narrow asphalt roads through the Bodden landscape. With a little planning, you will find paths that carry little car traffic and always offer a rest or a vantage point. Every day offers a new destination: today to Karl’s strawberry farm in Zirkow, tomorrow to the burial mounds of Lancken-Granitz, the day after tomorrow to the harbour festival in Seedorf via the mill in Altensien or to Moritzdorf and across to Baabe by rowing boat ferry.

Sightseeing along the way

At the Seafarers‘ House museum, captains talk about the great voyage, and history is shown and told at the windmill in Altensien. Famous sailing ships were once built at Seedorf’s natural harbour and at Lancken-Granitz the ancestors laid out their megalithic tombs. The Baltic seaside resort is an ideal starting point for exploring the typical Rügen Bodden landscape or the other Baltic seaside resorts along the coast.
