Miedzyzdroje Walk of Fame
The Miedzyzdroje Walk of Fame was initiated in 1996, during the Stars Festival. It was then, that the first well-known personalities of the Polish cultural scene were invited to imprint their hands on commemorative plaques. Since then, over 160 renowned Polish artists left their handprints in Miedzyzdroje. Although you won’t have heard about most of them, you surely know names like Kieslowski, Polanski, Wajda or Zanussi.
A 395-metre-long pier
The pier serves both as a walking area and a marina from where cruises to Swinoujście and the German harbours of Usedom set off. The first short pier was built in this place in 1885, and it was soon replaced by a 300 meters long pier. It was destroyed by German troops during the I World War, to prevent Russian troops use it to invade the city. It was rebuilt in 1920 and stood until 1954, when it was destroyed by the storm. The now-existing pier was finished in 2004.
It is windy on the pier, so watch out for your hat!
