connected to the Baltic Sea by the Ina and Odra Rivers and used to offer competition
to Szczecin as a harbor. Although only a small river, the Ina used to be able to
accomodate large ships. Only the old mill-gate (mL nsk briunrs) and the salt ware-
houses are still there as remira,rs of Stargard's former importance.
