Sellin Village Entrance

Highlight • Settlement

In Sellin on the island of Usedom, many former fishermen's cottages have been converted into holiday apartments. Former smokehouses at the entrance to the village hint at its fishing past.

Sellin Village

Highlight • Settlement

The village of Sellin is quiet and somewhat forgotten at the end of a street (no through traffic) The 285 bus goes here and makes the place a good starting point for hikes

The known and the unknown combined in a new way! Unfortunately there is no refreshment in Benz, everything is closed until Easter.

Today, Jörg offered the hike we both tried last year, with slight variations. Two mills, plenty of water, and wood anemones as far as the eye can see. Unfortunately, the mill café and the old fire station in Benz were closed. The path to the mill and the cemetery is under construction.
