The Trzcinice Islands [ tʃʨi'ɲiʦɛ ] (German pipe holder islands ) are a group of islands in the Szczecin Lagoon in Poland . The small group, consisting of five uninhabited islands, is located in the southwest of the Wicko Wielkie ( Great Vietziger Lake ), a bay in the Szczecin Lagoon, east of the Wołcza Kępa island ( Wulwenkämpe ) and north of the Wiszowa Kępa island ( reed island ).
Like their neighboring islands, the Trzcinice Islands are also under nature protection because of the many animal species.
