Beautiful view of a backwater bay and very well maintained!

Since 2001, the moated castle, built between 1575 and 1596, has been privately owned and houses a hotel, a brewery, and a coffee roastery. During the summer months, various medieval festivals take place almost daily.

Not far from the castle, in the village center, is the old church with very old graves (unfortunately, some of them belonging to small children!). The two ancient oak trees on the grounds are particularly remarkable!

One of the oak trees is listed as a natural monument and was estimated to be 670 years old in 2017!

Karnin Railway Lift Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The lift bridge at Karnin can be seen from a distance, if you drive from Zecherin to Usedom. A detour is worthwhile. Here are some more information:

"Since 1876, especially the Berlin guests drove over the Karniner bridge in their" Berlin bathtub ", as Usedom has always been affectionately called .. In the 30s of the 20th century, the bridge no longer met the increased traffic requirements and was modernized in 1933 and in Thanks to the lift technology, the new lift technology enabled the tracks to be lifted and lowered within a maximum of three minutes, allowing the Peenestrom to remain accessible even to large cargo ships in the mid-30s Every year, 52 trains roared over the 350-meter-long bridge - including 12 express trains - during the retreat before the Russian troops, the German Wehrmacht blew up the Karnin bridge and with it the railway connection to the mainland for the next 50 years.

What remained was the lifting part of the Karniner Bridge. In 1990 the Reichsbahn wanted to demolish this testimony of German railway history. A citizens' initiative was born. It is thanks to their commitment that the technical monument has been placed under protection and still stands out of the water in the Peenestrom.

Karnin Harbor

Highlight • Rest Area

The ferry always runs from 10:00 - 17:00. First of all, I felt that the signage was a bit poor. Then a beautiful cobblestone path, which we cyclists love so much, led down to the ferry. The harbormaster's house down below was closed... and where can I get the tickets now? Maybe ask at the snack bar. Ah, yes, the snack bar sells the tickets!! 13.- (7.- per person, 6.- for an e-bike) one crossing, a hefty price for about 300 m. The cyclists who were there with me changed their minds. The sausage from the snack bar tasted delicious. Here comes the ferry, actually very quiet!!! Electric, with green power. The captain is very nice!! Then we pass the old Karnin lift bridge, which is really great, like something out of a horror film. And the ferry is moving!!
