Loop
This hike begins in Peenemünde and explores a large part of the northern part of the island of Usedom. The first part leads along the Peene River and then reaches Karlshagen. Since the Paht is a show, it remains a little set back from the sea in the wooded area. But you can also hike along the sandy beach and later turn back on the path.
