Mescherin Border Bridge over the West Oder

Highlight • Bridge

A bridge crossing over the Westoder was built in the Middle Ages around 1306 to connect the cities of Greiffenhagen and Penkun. This was destroyed by the Swedes in 1640 during the Thirty Years' War. In 1857 a new wooden yoke bridge was built. The forerunner of today's Oder Bridge is a 120 m long steel bridge built between 1911 and 1913 for the construction of a road from Greifenhagen over the Westoder to Mescherin. The bridge was destroyed in the war in 1945 and rebuilt as a border bridge to Poland after 1960.

Marina Gartz (Oder)

Highlight • Rest Area

A small but working marina with a nice welcome. Near the marina office with a payment machine for watercraft (I don't know, I don't know what it's called correctly). Gastronomy is open at the quay in the season, a nicely restored building of the former granary (currently apartments) and supports of the now non-existent bridge can be seen

Oder Riverside Promenade in Gartz

Highlight (Segment) • River

The road leading through the Oder embankment in Gartz. Numerous cafes and pubs along the way. Picturesque views of the Oder River and the Polish side. We also pass the pillars of the old bridge, demolished during World War II.
