Great highlight located directly on the Kölpinsee 🤩. Ideal for a short stop. For hunger in between, there is a nice selection of restaurants / snack bars and for the children there is a playground 🛝 ⛹🏽♂️. Directly adjacent is the Baltic Sea 🌊.

It lies on the former border between the two countries and is the longest coastal pedestrian and cycle path in Europe. It connects the German seaside resort of Ahlbeck with the Polish city of Świnoujście (Swinemünde) and passes through three imperial seaside resorts dating back to the Prussian era: Bansin, Heringsdorf, and Ahlbeck. The promenade stretches for a total length of 12 km.

A truly lovely beach promenade in Zinnowitz. The very beautiful, mostly seaside villas have a great attention to detail and presumably offer a fantastic view of the Baltic Sea. The promenade is lovingly landscaped with numerous benches, sculptures, small and large plants, and hedges. There are also public restrooms on both sides of the complex and a few bicycle parking spaces, although these were full despite the end of the season. From the two footpaths themselves, you don't really get a view of the Baltic Sea, as it is lined with a neat hedge on the waterside. You can get a view of the Baltic Sea from the beach entrances and, of course, from the pier with the diving bell.
