Cycling Routes Through Wendorf

The “in the south of Stralsund” cycling and hiking tour is an easy 30.3-kilometre circular route. It follows quiet roads from Zarendorf to Wendorf and on to Voigterhagen. For your planning, both its easy rating and the length of the circular route are specified. If you’re looking for a tour with a stated distance, you can use these details to help plan your stay.

The “Forests and Lakes” cycling tour passes through Negast and reaches Wendorf at the start of its final stage. This gives you a choice of different route descriptions: an easy circular tour with a stated distance, and a tour that reaches Wendorf at the beginning of its final section. Which one better suits your travel plans depends on whether you prefer a circular route or this stage-by-stage itinerary.

Landscape and Cultural Heritage Across the Municipality

The Groß Lüdershagen manor house is in the municipality of Wendorf. It is part of a former manor estate and is a listed building. The “Forests and Lakes” cycling tour passes the manor house, linking its route with a historic building. The manor house is a distinctive feature of the tour; the municipality’s landscape conservation areas offer a different focus.

The “Försterhofer Heide” nature reserve lies entirely within the municipality of Wendorf. Its landscape is characterised by significant areas of dry grassland and dwarf-shrub heath, as well as boggy depressions. The “Krummenhagener See” nature reserve lies partly within the municipality. The lake is a valuable wetland habitat, with extensive reed beds and boggy areas. At the municipal level, these reserves highlight distinct landscapes: heathland and depressions on the one hand, and reed beds and wetlands on the other.
