The Kölpinsee on Usedom is about 1 kilometer long and 350 meters wide. The lake, also known as the "Swan Lake", is about 200 meters from the Baltic Sea and is separated from the sea by a foredune and a protective dike. A circular path leads around the lake, which can be explored on foot or by bike. Visitors can also rent rowing boats to experience the lake directly.

First a concrete track, then a somewhat rough dirt road along the lake - definitely not a forest highway, but drivable ... after that the surface gets better again ;-)

Also one of the beautiful large lakes in the Mecklenburg Lake District. A complete circuit is only possible together with the Fleesensee (approx. 50 km). Rarely visible to hikers, especially in the southeast (beware of the nudist beach).

A very nice place with a great view on the tour around the Kölpinsee and the Jabelscher See. Great for a short rest. There are many entrances into the water to take a refreshing dip.
