Poland’s largest island is often referred to as “the only true island in the country” because of the two straits of several hundred meters separating it from the mainland. To the south, Wolin opens onto the huge Szczecin Lagoon, whose name may confuse an inland resident. A lagoon in Poland is usually associated with a small dam lake, while here we are actually dealing with a large sea bay, which is bounded from the north by two islands: Wolin and Uznam. The correct term for this body of water is also the word lagoon.
