Usedom Historic Railway Station

Highlight • Historical Site

The old Usedom station building is located on the former Ducherow - Swinoujscie railway line and was restored in 2003 with funding. Inside is now the city's tourist information center. At the back there is a bench, information boards and playgrounds for children. There is still a hint of the railway, you can even see the edge of the platform.

St. Mary's Church Usedom

Highlight • Religious Site

The city once had five churches. Today only the Marienkirche still exists. It was first mentioned in 1337. Destroyed in the city fire in 1475, it was rebuilt in the late Gothic style. During a renovation in 1891, the church was completely redesigned according to plans by Ludwig Böttger. Today the church consists of a three-aisled hall with a polygonal choir. The eastern stepped gable is typical of Nordic brick churches. The stained glass comes from the Royal Institute in Berlin. The altar window is an Easter window showing the resurrection scene. On the altar cabinet from 1743 is the donor's coat of arms of Lieutenant von Massow. The statue of Bishop Otto von Bamberg was created in 2013 by Günther Roßlau from Gneventhin.

Karnin Railway Lift Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The lift bridge at Karnin can be seen from a distance, if you drive from Zecherin to Usedom. A detour is worthwhile. Here are some more information:

"Since 1876, especially the Berlin guests drove over the Karniner bridge in their" Berlin bathtub ", as Usedom has always been affectionately called .. In the 30s of the 20th century, the bridge no longer met the increased traffic requirements and was modernized in 1933 and in Thanks to the lift technology, the new lift technology enabled the tracks to be lifted and lowered within a maximum of three minutes, allowing the Peenestrom to remain accessible even to large cargo ships in the mid-30s Every year, 52 trains roared over the 350-meter-long bridge - including 12 express trains - during the retreat before the Russian troops, the German Wehrmacht blew up the Karnin bridge and with it the railway connection to the mainland for the next 50 years.

What remained was the lifting part of the Karniner Bridge. In 1990 the Reichsbahn wanted to demolish this testimony of German railway history. A citizens' initiative was born. It is thanks to their commitment that the technical monument has been placed under protection and still stands out of the water in the Peenestrom.

Karnin Harbor

Highlight • Rest Area

The ferry always runs from 10:00 - 17:00. First of all, I felt that the signage was a bit poor. Then a beautiful cobblestone path, which we cyclists love so much, led down to the ferry. The harbormaster's house down below was closed... and where can I get the tickets now? Maybe ask at the snack bar. Ah, yes, the snack bar sells the tickets!! 13.- (7.- per person, 6.- for an e-bike) one crossing, a hefty price for about 300 m. The cyclists who were there with me changed their minds. The sausage from the snack bar tasted delicious. Here comes the ferry, actually very quiet!!! Electric, with green power. The captain is very nice!! Then we pass the old Karnin lift bridge, which is really great, like something out of a horror film. And the ferry is moving!!
