    Definitely worth seeing. There is an information board on the former embankment on the Usedom side. There you will find newspaper reports and information on the construction, use and destruction of the bridge.

    The Karnin lifting bridge, a formerly 360 m long railway bridge between the Pomeranian mainland near Kamp and the island of Usedom near Karnin. The superstructures on both sides of the movable lifting part were destroyed by the Wehrmacht in 1945 to stop the advancing Soviet troops. 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.
