Path Along Lake Kölpinsee Near Klink

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

First a concrete track, then a somewhat rough dirt road along the lake - definitely not a forest highway, but drivable ... after that the surface gets better again ;-)

November 11, 2024, Lily Pad Shore at Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heide

The Kölpinsee on Usedom is about 1 kilometer long and 350 meters wide. The lake, also known as the "Swan Lake", is about 200 meters from the Baltic Sea and is separated from the sea by a foredune and a protective dike. A circular path leads around the lake, which can be explored on foot or by bike. Visitors can also rent rowing boats to experience the lake directly.

Also one of the beautiful large lakes in the Mecklenburg Lake District. A complete circuit is only possible together with the Fleesensee (approx. 50 km). Rarely visible to hikers, especially in the southeast (beware of the nudist beach).

A very nice place with a great view on the tour around the Kölpinsee and the Jabelscher See. Great for a short rest. There are many entrances into the water to take a refreshing dip.
