To be honest, I had expected more. There are a few nice houses with beautiful architecture in the immediate center.

One of the most popular photo motifs in the area is the small lighthouse in Waase, which greets all visitors on the bridge over the Focker Strom. To protect the water birds, it has no lighting. The 7-meter-high landmark of Ummanz was originally built by a restaurateur in 1997 and was even once a kiosk.

That's true, I ride on the cycle path from Bergen to Sassnitz and back via Mukran and then towards Sassnitz. Then to Polchow via Mukran, then turn right at the traffic lights and drive to the Mukran traffic lights and then drive to Bergen, which is very safe for us cyclists, and then in Augustenhof you push your bike across the road because it's very dangerous without looking to see if a car is coming or not. One person didn't want to believe me when I said that it was very easy to cross the road and a truck hit him and unfortunately they couldn't help him. His friends gave false information to the police and lost everything and I had witnesses and they didn't. It's very dangerous if you want to cross. I'd rather wait longer than I have to and that's a really good thing. I just wanted to tell you, my dears. You can also drive over Tilzower Berg and then drive towards Sellin and there are some cycle paths there too, but not in Tilzow.
