Access
Short walk

After you reached the island Usedom while coming over the Zecheriner Bridge (get the opening times via Internet) you follow the signs Ahlbeck/airport. Take right hand crossing in Zirchow to direction Kamminke. Passing the `Golm` you will be leaded into the harbour of the small village Kamminke. This road will lead you to the water, in front of the dam turn right and follow that small road along the dam to the parking lot. Park here (free). You can stay overnight and they will charge you about 4-6 Euro (depending if the old man likes you or not).
