Wolgast the town - "Gate" to the Isle off Usedom

In 2007 we could celebrate the 750th anniversary of the town foundation in a dignified way. For all of you who could not take part in the imposing parade and the medieval hustle and bustle around the historical town hall and St. Petri church we arranged some impressions about that in our picture gallery.

Not only the well preserved old part of the town with its half timbered houses but also a lot other sights a worth to visit in Wolgast.

Silence and relaxation you can find during a walk along the Peene-River to the Dreilindengrund in the near by area of Wolgast. A worthuhile destination in the so called Tannenkamp also is the zoo, where you can see a lot of animals that live in our region.

Changing exhibitions in the museum of Wolgast (called The "coffeemill) and in the house where the famous German artist Philipp-Otto-Runge was born are highlights in Wolgast, too.The 1st Saturday in September has taken place against the background of the Usedom-Marathon for a couple of years. No matter what it is, - the starting point of the semi marathon race, the finish of this and the marathon race, the fans but also the nerve racked tourists in the traffic jams around this event.
