The Karnin lifting bridge, a formerly 360 m long railway bridge between the Pomeranian mainland near Kamp and the island of Usedom near Karnin.

Since the end of the war, the raised part of the bridge has remained unchanged as a fragment and technical monument in the middle of the river, the inner coastal water that connects the Szczecin Lagoon with the Peenestrom.
