Szczecin Lagoon facts for kids
The Szczecin Lagoon is a large body of water located in the southwestern part of the Baltic Sea. It is also known as the Stettin Lagoon (its German name) or the Lagoon of the Oder River. This lagoon is special because it is shared by two countries: Germany and Poland.
Imagine a big, calm lake that connects to the sea – that's kind of what a lagoon is! The Szczecin Lagoon is fed by the Oder River and other smaller rivers. It's an important place for nature and for people living nearby.
