The route is paved for the majority of its length, sometimes running on a road with automobiles, but most of the time its own path, which may or may not run parallel to an auto road. A very few stretches of the route, for example between Neustrelitz and Waren, are not paved but perfectly acceptable to ride over with an average road or hybrid bicycle. Under certain weather conditions these unpaved roads might require special attention while riding over. Distinctive signs mark the route at most junctions but acquiring a route map to keep on the journey or a GPS navigation device loaded with the route (available through the official site) is recommended.

In Denmark, the path is fully signposted as National Route 9, with red N9 on a blue background. The ferry across the Grønsund runs only during the summer, about 15 May to 15 September, and during a short period in October.
