Seaside resorts

Strolling through the narrow streets, across the historic market square, or past numerous half-timbered and gabled buildings, you can still see and feel the history in many places. Particularly impressive are the baroque Marienkirche church and the former castle of the Pomeranian Dukes. Whether you stroll along the harbour promenade or the promenade in Haffbad, you're in for a unique experience. The white sand beaches make this certified seaside family-friendly resort an inviting place to swim or try out numerous water sports.

From swimming to biking, climbing to horse riding, hiking to canoe tours, boat or rafting trips to visiting the zoo or museum, old town charm to harbour flair – the medium-sized town of Ueckermünde has simply everything to delight young and old alike in every season.
