Urban culinary delights: New Asian bistro and cult restaurant in Ahlbeck!
In Ahlbeck, a charming town on Usedom, a lively gastronomic scene has developed in recent years. The heart of this culinary landscape is Hannelore “Mausi” Spranger’s small pub, which has been pampering guests with hearty dishes and a loving atmosphere since 1991. In a former butcher's shop, Mausi has created a cozy place where fried potatoes and a hearty farmer's breakfast are on the menu. The prices are pleasantly low and are well under ten euros. Regular guests and holidaymakers appreciate the honest cuisine and the family atmosphere.
The Peene Bridge in Wolgast, which has created this connection to Usedom since 1933, is almost a landmark. The bridge, affectionately known as the "Blue Wonder", is regularly renovated, but yesterday it remained impassable for an hour, resulting in a long traffic jam on the federal highway 111. The bridge, which is 256 meters long and was renovated in the 1990s, is now safer for all road users thanks to its renewed design and a separate bicycle path. This new design significantly improves traffic flows and reduces the risk of accidents on the busy route. Baltic Sea Magazine gives a lot of information about the bridge and its surroundings, which has both historical and natural sights.
New culinary highlights
The gastronomy on the coast does not stand still. From July 21st, a new Asian bistro called Mamili will open in Wolgast, which will focus on Vietnamese specialties. This adds another interesting offering to the wide spectrum of dining options. Ahlbeck and the surrounding area offer a variety of culinary discoveries, like the site ahlbeck.m-vp.de shows. Whether traditional German cuisine or international delicacies – everyone will find something to their taste here.
The Ahlbeck area is rich in opportunities for exploration tours, with rustic fishing villages and breathtaking nature inviting you to marvel. Particular highlights are the beaches of Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf and Bansin, but also the impressive rocket technology in the Peenemünde Museum. The landscape around the Peene Bridge with its numerous sights and leisure opportunities offers visitors an incredibly varied experience.
Future prospects
There are also construction plans for the future. The Vorpommern-Greifswald district is aiming to build a new vocational school campus in Greifswald. This campus will not only include a sports hall, but also an event space. Construction is scheduled to begin at the end of 2025 and completion is scheduled for 2028. Until then, the old infrastructure will remain in use, which should allow for a seamless transition.
Overall, the region around Ahlbeck and Wolgast offers an exciting mix of tradition and modernity. From the small but fine pub to new catering concepts or important infrastructure projects – there is a lot happening here. The warm atmosphere and untouched nature are still a credit to the people who live in this beautiful area.
