Great and cozy bike path. Very good surface (asphalt) which partly leads through a beautiful forest.

Wonderful, former post office building which later housed a hotel, but which probably closed in 2025. I cannot say whether another operator has taken over the property in the meantime.

With his four copperplate engravings: Morning, Evening, Day, Night, Runge was the first painter to set the program for the new art of Romanticism in Germany. Inspired by holistic ideas, Runge also devoted himself to the theory of colors, designed playing cards and wrote down Pomeranian fairy tales such as "Vom Fischer un sin Fru", which found its way into Grimm's fairy tales. In the exhibition, which was redesigned in 2017, you can get an interactive insight into the artist's world. In Kronwiekstrasse, not far from the harbor, is the birthplace of Philipp-Otto Runge (1777 - 1810). The house and the picturesque courtyard are open for the annual culture night in August. Music and theater invite visitors to get to know the romantic side of the city of Wolgast. In the living room gallery, the Rungehaus offers changing exhibitions by selected artists.

Before the post office building was built, the Jankesche Haus, a small inn with a place to relax, was located on the former horse market. The main building of the post office was built in 1884 by the Wolgast master builder and senator Max Heinrichs and was able to start operations in the city in 1885. It was not until 1902 that the Reichspost was named as the owner in the land registry files, having previously only been a tenant. The building is now over 130 years old. Post and telegraph offices of this type were built in many small, medium and large cities. They are usually very similar in design, as the Reichspost Office's construction department had been planning the buildings centrally since 1875 and had them built and monitored by the responsible senior postal directorates. It is a 2-storey historicist clinker brick building in the neo-Gothic style with 4 corner projections and a stepped gable. The architectural appearance is a successful example of the Wilhelminian - historical utility building construction of that time. The post office and Telekom used the building for their purposes until operations at the Old Post Office in Wolgast were discontinued in April 2006. Since May 2014, the private Postel Wolgast has offered both private rooms and dormitories.

Wild cherries, field stones, hedges, a wonderful biotope. Only suitable for off-road bikes. Often muddy or extremely sandy, depending on the weather. My favorite dirt road!
