From a small hill on the southern tip of the Gnitz peninsula, you have an impressive view of the Achterwasser and the mainland beyond.

Southern Gnitz viewpoint: far-reaching views over the Achterwasser

On the southern tip of the Gnitz peninsula, not far from the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, visitors can enjoy a quiet, impressive viewpoint. From a small hill, the view sweeps far across the Achterwasser to the mainland - a panorama that radiates a tranquillity all of its own, especially on a clear day. The Gnitz peninsula is located in the south-west of Usedom and can be reached via narrow paths.

Southern tip of Gnitz nature reserve: rare plants and wildlife

The entire area around the southern tip is a nature reserve and is home to a remarkable variety of species. Botanically, the orchid, silver grass and sand immortelle are particularly striking. If you roam the landscape carefully, you can observe otters, moor frogs, grass frogs and grass snakes. The regular presence of the white-tailed eagle, which uses this section of the Usedom coast as a hunting ground, is particularly impressive.

Gnitz and Usedom - a nature experience on the Baltic Sea

The southern tip of Gnitz blends into the diverse natural landscape of Usedom, which, together with Rügen, Fischland-Darß-Zingst and the region around Greifswald, is one of the most unspoiled stretches of coastline in northern Germany. Anyone exploring the area should bring enough time with them and respect the designated paths to protect the flora and fauna.
