Discover Korswandt on Lake Wolgast

Korswandt is located directly on Lake Wolgast. The lake gives exploring the village a clear connection to the water; forest and nature themes, as well as excursions in the surrounding area, add to this. The picture of the destination therefore extends from the nearby shore to interests in excursions beyond the lake.

Water and forest on Lake Wolgast

Lake Wolgast in Korswandt offers opportunities for swimming, boating and fishing. A lakeside path runs through largely untouched beech forests. This places activities on the water alongside a walk through the forest as different ways to experience the area. You can treat these as separate interests when planning your day or combine them during your stay.

Nature conservation on different scales

Korswandt is also part of the Gothensee and Thurbruch nature reserve. Its conservation goals include preserving and developing a eutrophic shallow lake with adjoining marsh areas as a breeding and feeding habitat for rare insects, birds and mammals, as well as restoring the water levels of a rain-fed bog. The municipality is also home to a protected copper beech, considered the oldest of its kind on Usedom. The nature reserve provides a broader landscape setting, while the copper beech is a single natural highlight. Eutrophic means nutrient-rich.

Excursions, golf and coastal views

The area around Korswandt is well suited to cycling and hiking excursions, for example to the Kaiserbäder or the coast. The Baltic Hills golf course lies in the hilly landscape of Korswandt, not far from the Kaiserbäder, which are also possible excursion destinations. The Zierowberg observation tower is located west of the municipality of Korswandt, near the Polish border. From Zierowberg, you can enjoy a view of the seaside resort of Ahlbeck and the Baltic coast. This coastal view adds another landscape perspective to the local water and forest themes.
