The Gnitz peninsula is a place full of beauty and very remote. Around the middle of the 19th century, in addition to the nobles, the parish and the sexton, the village only had around 10 houses and 165 residents. Gnitz is now a popular holiday resort and excursion destination with beautiful hiking trails and cycle paths directly in the nature conservation paradise.
