Port of Altwarp
Altwarper Hafen is the northeasternmost port in the Federal Republic of Germany and is the border port to neighboring Poland.
On the left-hand side, the port is used by the fishing cooperative. The fishing village of Altwarp is located directly on the coast between the Szczecin Lagoon and Lake Warp and is home to Germany's easternmost port. From the harbor, you have a good view of the Polish neighbor Neuwarp, which can be visited by passenger ship. The idyllic village is surrounded by breathtaking nature and vastness. Juniper heaths, pine forests, oak and alder woods and the famous shifting sand dunes make the nature park one of the most beautiful landscapes on the Szczecin Lagoon. Enjoy the maritime flair with the old fishermen's houses, visit the Dutch windmill, which was still in operation until 1950, or relax in absolute tranquillity on the small natural beach. Fish is a big part of the gastronomic offer here. It is served fresh every day in the restaurants and pubs. The inland dunes on the edge of the village are also worth a visit and invite you to linger.
