Discover the region

The special feature of Ummanz is its geographical location - surrounded by the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park, it offers a breathtaking landscape with unspoilt beaches and a rich flora and fauna. The island is known for its bird watching, especially during the migratory bird season in autumn.

Topically relevant sights include the Wollmatinger Ried nature centre and the Günzer See crane resting place. Cultural highlights include the annual art exhibition "Kunst Offen" (Art Open), where local artists present their works.

If you want to indulge in culinary delights, you should definitely try fresh fish dishes or make a detour to the farm shop, where regional products such as honey or jams are on offer.

There is plenty to experience in terms of outdoor activities: Whether hiking through the idyllic landscape, cycling along the coast or water sports activities such as sailing or surfing - everyone gets their money's worth here. The best seasons for outdoor activities are spring to autumn.

Even when it rains, Ummanz has not lost its charm: a visit to the maritime museum is just as worthwhile as a cosy café visit in one of the charming villages.

The most beautiful thing about Ummanz is to enjoy the peace and serenity of nature. Walks along the shore of the Bodden at sunset or a picnic on the beach are particularly recommended.

Overall, Ummanz is definitely worth a trip for anyone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and longs for some time out in the midst of unspoilt nature. This travel guide offers many useful tips for a successful stay on this enchanting island!

    Hat Spaß gemacht. Wir sind mit unseren 7 jährigen Sohn die Tour gefahren im April 2019. Die Strecke macht Spaß obwohl man auf einigen Abschnitten aufpassen muss dass man nicht übertragen wird. Die Rueganer kennen beim Autofahren nur 0 oder 1. Hinter Rambin war es am gefährlichsten da man da auf einer engen Straße mit Tempo 100 fährt.. Ansonsten sehr schöne Strecke.

    Wir haben nur die Runde auf der Insel Ummanz gemacht. Es ist eine einzigartige Landschaft, der Stop zur Vogelbeobachtung ist sehr lohnenswert (jedenfalls zur Zeit im Oktober)
