The view is magnificent, and cycling is fantastic. And if you lie here and relax, you can enjoy the view and forget everything around you.

In the fall of 2025, the path was well-paved and passable. The Ribnitz Great Moor is a rain-fed bog, meaning it is fed solely by precipitation, which is "held" by the moss. The moss grows as a result, bulges up, forms peat, and grows... if it isn't drained. Here, too, peat was dug and the bog drained. Today, a worthwhile excursion trail leads through it, with information boards and benches.
