The path will be much better afterwards! This section is very sandy, but is not a problem for mountain bikers.

• 🏞 Beautiful mountain bike trail on Rügen 🧭 starts in Blandow and runs along the sea towards Rugeshus 🗺My recommendation towards the end on the left up the small mountain and continue the tour in the direction of Steilufer-Straße. • There are also small bridges on this trail Otherwise almost permanent as seen in the picture. It is recommended to ride a mountain bike. Have fun on the trail, as these are rather rare on Rügen.
