Wolin Harbor and City Pier

● Wolin

This quiet harbor is located on the Dievenow, the eastern strait between the lagoon and the Baltic Sea. Even though this harbor on the Haff is somewhat off the beaten path, it’s well worth a visit. The harbor basin offers space for about 30 yachts—none too large—at solidly built docks and features electricity and water connections. A restroom facility is also located nearby. Two approaches lead from the lagoon to the harbor: the southern approach has a draft of about 2.5 m, and the northern approach has a draft of only up to 2 m. Those coming from the opposite direction—from the Baltic Sea via Dziwnow—must navigate four bridges, only two of which can be opened: the bascule bridge in Dziwnow and the swing bridge in Wolin. The other two bridges in Wolin—the railroad bridge and the new road bridge—are fixed, but they have a clearance height of 12 m at average water level. You can also moor your boat alongside the city pier, which consists of several hundred meters of concrete pier in front of a green meadow.
