Short walk |
Get to the island Usedom and drive on B111 to Ueckeritz. Ueckeritz is located at the smallest part in the middle of Usedom. In Ueckeritz follow the signs to the `Segelschule` which is on the Bodden (lake) side, not the ocean. Drive down the street until it ends in a parking lot at the small harbor. Ask the local school for exact info about how to launch etc.
