June 7, 2026, Rosenhagen Observation Tower

A great area for nature observation. We saw hundreds of cranes, two sea eagles, red kites, marsh harriers and much more. It was very windy on the tower.

With good equipment (binoculars and telephoto lens) you can make great observations and take great pictures here.

The small town of Kamp is very idyllic and the electric ferry there with its friendly skipper takes every cyclist across to Karnin in 10 minutes. Book tickets online in advance and pay attention to the ferry times!

Looks great...but the thorns are really sharp. You have to be really careful when taking close-ups.

Shortens the journey to Usedom by about 30km, but you have to pay attention to the ferry times, currently 10am-5pm. You pay €7 for a crossing. The ticket can be purchased before the journey either online or at the snack truck.

You shouldn't just rush through here, but simply look and listen and discover.

An impressive sight of an old steel structure. Fascinating when you think about what it must have looked like when it was in use.

Small harbor with food trucks and nice seating. You can also spend the night at the "campsite" here.
