Usedom - Uznam Essentials

Usedom and Uznam combine German and Polish heritage across a diverse Baltic landscape. This selection features the Peenemünde Historical Technical Museum, where the V-2 rocket was developed, and the monumental Karnin Lift Bridge ruins. Maritime history is represented by the 19th-century Fort Zachodni and the Świnoujście Lighthouse, one of the tallest on the Baltic. The island’s coastal character is defined by the wooden pier at Bansin and the distinctive Stawa Młyny windmill beacon. Natural highlights include the Streckelsberg cliff, while the Anklamer Tor marks the medieval entrance to Usedom town.
