Oder – pure Nature
The river landscape of the Oder is uniquely beautiful. Flowering fields and meadows, forests and moorland form this region of boundless varieties of animal and plant life. Over 120 species of birds, including the threatened with extinction great reed-warblers and corncrakes breed in the national park “Lower Valley of the Oder”.

Lock of Niederfinow
The lock on the edge of the Oder marsh, built between 1927 and 1934, is a unique technical monument. From early on, there were attempts to overcome the height difference of 36 meters between the rivers Havel and Oder. A 157m long bridge connects the locks with the canal.

Haff and Bodden and Usedom
An enjoyable boat trip takes us over coastal inlets (Haffs) and lakes (Bodden) to Usedom, an island famous for its healthy sea air and its kilometre long and fine sand beaches.
Forests, swamps and inlets overgrown with reeds as well as the 800 km2 large nature park make this Baltic Sea island an popular travel destination.

Ruegen
Ruegen is the largest island in Germany and has the most beautiful landscape on the Baltic Sea coast. Kilometre long sand beaches draw thousands of holiday makers every year. The brilliant white chalk cliffs of Ruegen are the symbol of the island.

Hiddensee
Hiddensee is reachable only by ship. This 17 km long and less than one kilometre wide island of Hiddensee is auto-free. The only means of transportation are bicycles and the famous horse and carriages. Hiddensee has its own outstanding flora and fauna as well as beautiful beaches and charming villages.

Stralsund
The glorious past of the “Town on the Water” is still visible in the historic character of Stralsund. The majestic brick churches of St. Nikolai and St. Jakobi tower above the old town walls and houses. Stralsund, since 2002 a UNESCO-World Heritage site, is a jewel with lovely ponds and parks surrounding the old town.
