Visitor information center of the nature park "Am Stettiner Haff"
This nature park is located in the north-east of the country, in the direct vicinity of the Republic of Poland.

The visitor information center is located at the train station in Eggesin. The idea of the nature park was born in the district of Uecker-Randow in the fall of 2001 by committed employees and representatives of local authorities. The "Am Stettiner Haff" Nature Park was founded in 2003. Six people work in the nature park. Mr. Elberskirch as manager and Mr. Dinse as deputy mainly in the office as well as four rangers (Ms. Kroschwald, Mr. Henke, Mr. Fleck and Mr. Schuldt) who work primarily in the nature park area. All employees work primarily in the areas of nature conservation, nature-friendly tourism and public relations as well as regional development and environmental education. Since August 2012, the nature park has been based at the train station in Eggesin, where a modern visitor information center with a small café area has also been built. Under the direction of the town of Eggesin and with the help of EAFRD (LEADER) and urban development funds, two historic station outbuildings were renovated and connected to a functional new building. Here, visitors can get an overview of the nature park and its special features with the help of a modern interactive exhibition and then explore the nature park region equipped with information material. Nature lovers and stressed city dwellers will find the peace and quiet they long for, even in the high season. Worthwhile excursion destinations include the "Ukranenland" in Torgelow with reconstructed houses and ships from the Slavic era and the botanical garden in Christiansberg.
