To the Lighthouse, Fort Gerhard and the Central Breakwater

The length of the route is approx. 16 km. The route begins and ends at the Bielik ferry crossing on the Wolin Island. It includes the Świnoujście Warszów district, a drive next to the LNG Terminal, a visit to Fort Gerhard, the entrance to the Lighthouse and the Central Breakwater. The entire route runs along paved paths and local asphalt roads.

“Świdny forest” bicycle route

Świdny Forest is situated on the most southwestern part of the island of Usedom. Although it is directly adjacent to the Świnoujście housing estates, and thousands of tourists pass through its center every day (along the exit road to the Karsibór ferry crossing), you can find here places as wild as the most inaccessible forests of the Wolin National Park. The bicycle route crosses the entire Świdny Las to reach the extremely picturesquely situated breakwater of the Piastowski Canal. Unfortunately, due to the very sandy access to the breakwater, the last kilometers of the route are suitable only for the most persistent cyclists.

To Ognica and back

The route is a slight modification of the “Świdny Las” bicycle route, and allows you to see the more “rural” part of Świnoujście. If we are in Świnoujście for the first time, we will definitely like the opportunity to see and use both ferry crossings. The route can be additionally extended with the route around the island of Karsibór. In addition, in the final part, we have the opportunity to see the more industrial part of Świnoujście, shipyards and the ferry terminal.
