The Usedom Island Nature Park covers almost the entire area of Germany's most popular vacation island, Usedom. The diversity of habitats provides suitable living conditions for numerous (endangered) animal and plant species. Hardly anywhere else can you find so many different types of landscape in such a small area: Baltic Sea beaches and inland coasts, lakes and moors, beech forests and dune pines combine with small villages in an old cultural landscape to create a mosaic that surprises with its diversity.

  10. #10 - Peenemünde Meerweg

    4.2 (6)·Easy·4.2 mi·Est. 1–1.5 hr
    Free parking is at the beginning of the path. Then always along the restricted area until you reach the coast. The restricted area was set up because there are still so many Allied bombs in the forest. You are right next to a bird sanctuary. Continue along the coast until you cross the railroad tracks in Karlshagen. Then comes a wonderfully developed path through ammunition-contaminated area. If you walk this route, you will pass many historical buildings from the time of the Peenemünde Army...
