Those who feel like it treat themselves to a stroll through the Hanseatic city before the tour begins. The accessible Rostock Zoo with Darwineum and Polarium is an animal delight. St. Mary's Church with its remarkable brick Gothic architectural style is an experience for culture lovers.

The Berlin-Copenhagen Cycle Route takes you from Rostock to the south. Passing horse paddocks and wide fields, you head towards Schwaan. On the way there, you pass the village of Huckstorf. From there, it takes a little more strength for about one kilometer to Benitz, because the climb is about 15%. Once the strenuous part is done, it is not far to the artist colony Schwaan. After a refreshment at Bäckerei Schröder with a piece of Schwaaner Prasselkuchen, the tour continues to the accessible Kunstmühle. Changing exhibitions inspire not only museum lovers. Those who wish can choose the way back to Rostock by regional train. The stations in Rostock and Schwaan are accessible.

Tip: If you take the tour the other way around, the climb at Huckstorf is a rushing descent!
