Bielik city ferry
A free ferry across the Świna connecting the islands of Usedom and Wolin — running around the clock, and the crossing is a small attraction in itself. Views of the port, shipyard and seagoing ships from the deck. For pedestrians and cyclists it is the most pleasant way to the right bank.

The little church in Karsibór
A historic Gothic church in the heart of the former fishing village of Karsibór — one of the oldest monuments on the Świnoujście islands. Around it a quiet village, a small harbour on the canal and fried fish stands. A completely different vibe than the resort.
