We are off on a new adventure. This time we chose a bicycle trip on the sunny island of Bornholm. The ferry departs on Sunday from Sassnitz. We decided to spend Saturday on the German island of Rügen.

Seeing the traffic situation, we had to modify our route to avoid the slow-moving traffic. We decided to partly take the local roads. Unfortunately, the one and only main road on the island — the E251 — was a nightmare.
We drove around, through the village of Putbus, at the center of which is a market square shaped like a roundabout, surrounded by buildings. We reached the first village that we wanted to explore – Sellin, where we took a short walk to the sea.
