Grenze Deutschland-Polen auf Usedom

Very fancy, a walk around the transition recommended

Exactly in the forest used to run the strictly secured border between the GDR and Poland. Today stands on the border strip a German-Polish gate.
There, a wooden path leads through the dunes to an approximately 400 square meter viewing platform.

Path to the beach along the border.

Definitely with the bike "experienced"

Since 2008, when Poland joined the Schengen Agreement, anyone can take advantage of the excellently developed cycle path! Directly on the border strip you reach the beach via a bridge between the border posts and can swim from one country to the other as often as you like ;-)

The cycle path connects the seaside promenade Ahlbeck with the Polish city of Świnoujście.

A popular place to take photos: border marks and sea in the background

Hardly Usedom visitors has no photos from the border

The place was designed as a "meeting border" inviting and is very comfortable to stay there.

Nice to have open borders and to travel!

A clear sign of a Europe without borders.

On a well-developed bike path you drive through a Europe without borders. Hopefully it will stay that way. If the border markings were not there, you would not know if you are in Poland or Germany.

No identity papers are required. 🤗

Super bike path over the actually invisible border.

Good cycle path across the border from GER to POL.

Koserow-Wolinski Park u. Z.

It is a really nice place to stay, the design of the meeting border I like very well.

On a great bike path it is worth a visit, even if you hardly know without the hints that there is a limit. Nicely laid out.

From Ahlbeck always follow the bike path along the Baltic Sea to get directly to the German Polish border. Interesting small border crossing.

Example of limitless Europe.

Boundless Europe. Should stay like this.

Very nice and wide bike path from Usedom to Poland

Beautifully real historic

One should stop there and also briefly, because this open border crossing is a European merit and not at all self-evident!
But we take it for granted, even though it was not so long ago that heavy border installations shared the countries here.
It should, of course, stay that way and keep the peace.
With this view, it is especially worthwhile to visit the border!

Hold up your bike and take a picture. Epic!
