Mönkebude – The Pearl of the Szczecin Lagoon
The small fishing village of Mönkebude lies nestled idyllically on the Szczecin Lagoon. Its thatched-roof houses lend the village a romantic, almost fairytale-like atmosphere. Surrounded by water, forest, and heathland, Mönkebude is a place where time seems to slow down. Those who have been here once always return – perhaps because of the shallow water where children play carefree, or for the tranquil view from the benches on the pier across the shimmering lagoon.
Water sports enthusiasts appreciate the modern marina, which uniquely connects the harbor and beach. Anglers also get their money's worth and pull many a catch from the clear water. For cyclists and hikers, the surrounding area offers over 600 kilometers of signposted trails that lead through diverse landscapes.
A special experience is a trip aboard the Ghost, where you can feel the magic of traditional Zeesboot sailing. Motorhome travelers will find comfortable pitches at the beach park with direct access to nature.
In the lovingly designed Fisherman's Inn (museum), memories of bygone days come alive.
A nearby supermarket caters to daily needs, and three cozy restaurants and an ice cream parlor offer culinary variety – from breakfast to regional specialties.
Whether spring, summer, autumn, or winter – Mönkebude has its own unique charm in every season. It is and remains the pearl of the Szczecin Lagoon – almost too beautiful to keep to ourselves.
