After three years of construction, the water hiking rest area with 106 berths on Lake Usedom has been opened. Access is via a canal

The jetty with floating pontoons is located just a few hundred metres from the town of Usedom on the lake of the same name. Of the berths, 70 are for guests, the others are reserved for permanent residents. Access is via a canal to the south, which flows into the Szczecin Lagoon. The water depth in the canal is 2.0 metres, in the harbour 2.6 metres. The facility also includes a longer jetty for excursion boats and river boats as well as new sanitary facilities.

The project, which cost around 20 million euros, was built with the help of funding from the state and the EU.
