The Dziwna ( German Dievenow ) is one of the three estuary arms of the Oder , which connect the Stettiner Haff with the Baltic Sea as a sea channel . It is located in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship . Along the entire course, it forms the historical transition between Western and Eastern Pomerania.
The Dziwna is about 35 km long and varies greatly in width; it separates the island of Wolin (Wollin) in the west from the mainland of Pomerania in the east. It leaves the Szczecin Lagoon south of the city of Wolin (Wollin) on the Rów (dt. Roof) peninsula; at this point it is called Głęboki Nurt ( Eng . "The deep train"). Further to the north it forms a bulge, the Zatoka Cicha (Eng. "The Maade"), and then the Zalew Kamieński (Eng. "Camminer Bodden"); between the two lies the island of Wyspa Chrząszczewska (Eng. Gristow). In the far north it widens to Fritzower See and then flows into the Baltic Sea at Dziwnów (Dievenow). Since the natural estuary was heavily silted up, an artificial estuary was created from 1898 to 1900.
The town of Kamień Pomorski (Eng. Cammin) is located on the mainland side of the estuary . The Dziwna is a popular sailing area.
The other two mouths of the Oder are the Peenestrom and the Swine .
