Korswandt on Lake Wolgast
Accommodation in Korswandt
Korswandt is situated right on Lake Wolgast. Water, largely untouched beech forests and a hilly landscape give the village a variety of character: you can make the lake the focus of your vacation, explore the surrounding area on cycling and hiking tours, or take an interest in golf. The natural landscape also shapes Korswandt. The village therefore offers more than just one reason to choose it as your vacation destination.
Lake Wolgast: swimming, boating and fishing
At Lake Wolgast in Korswandt, you can swim, go boating and fish. If you’re interested in a stay that involves the water, you’ll find several ways to make the lake part of your vacation: from swimming and boating to fishing. Each option offers a different focus, without limiting your stay in Korswandt to just one activity. Lake Wolgast is right next to the village, making it an important point of reference when considering whether Korswandt suits your preferred mix of water and nature.
Lakeside path and excursions in the surrounding area
A lakeside path along Lake Wolgast runs through largely untouched beech forests. This brings the lake and a walk through woodland together. If you enjoy walking, this lakeside path offers a specific way to combine water and beech forest on one outing. The area around Korswandt is also suitable for cycling and hiking tours, for example to the Kaiserbäder resort towns or the coast. These destinations offer a different focus from a day spent right at Lake Wolgast: you can choose Korswandt as a starting point for tours to the Kaiserbäder or the coast. The destinations are deliberately described in general terms and do not refer to a set route.
Natural landscape and notable trees
The Gothensee and Thurbruch nature reserve also includes Korswandt. Its conservation objectives include preserving and developing a eutrophic shallow lake with adjacent wetland areas as breeding and feeding habitats for rare insects, birds and mammals, as well as restoring water levels in a rain-fed bog. The natural landscape is therefore more than just a backdrop: conservation efforts include habitats and the rewetting of a bog. This is a useful point of reference when choosing your vacation destination if you’re particularly interested in nature and the landscape.
There is also a protected European beech in the municipality, considered the oldest of its kind on Usedom. This individual protected tree is a remarkable natural feature of Korswandt. Together with the nature reserve and the beech forests along the lakeside path, it shows that nature is present here in different forms: as a protected tree, woodland by the lake and a larger landscape with wetland areas.
Views and golf in the hilly landscape
The Zierowberg observation tower is located west of the municipality, close to the Polish border. From Zierowberg, you can enjoy views of the seaside resort of Ahlbeck and the Baltic Sea coast. This adds views of the coast and seaside resort to the scenery around Lake Wolgast. The Baltic Hills golf course is set in the hilly landscape of Korswandt, not far from the Kaiserbäder resort towns. If you’re interested in golf, you can consider this option alongside the water and nature when choosing where to stay. Korswandt is therefore particularly appealing when looking for a holiday apartment if you want your stay to focus on the lake, nature or golf.
