location of bridge. It established the connection to the Xs1e of Uaedc
and was used chiefly as a feeder line for the seaside health resorts
located on the isles in addition to supplying the former naval station
in Spin e. The bridge was blasted at the end of the war. The
di tling of the bridge shows that the reconstruction of this formerly.

Is being maintained by ferrying operations via Wolgast.
