Holiday on the Island of Usedom
Welcome to the Baltic Sea island with the most sun hours.
Usedom - Your bathing island
with more than 40 kilometres of fine white sandy beach and approx. 2,000 hours of sunshine a year
The island of Usedom is also known as the ‘bathing beach of Berlin’. The most popular sea resorts on Usedom, such as Bansin, Heringsdorf and Ahlbeck sparkle like jewels on its coasts. But the main attraction for any holiday on the island has to be the old imperial spas, closely followed by the acres of room to stretch out on the beach.
In addition, there’s plenty of space to have fun and an enjoyable time on the beachfront. The Baltic beaches on Usedom are wide and clean, and the water is almost always calm. Perfect conditions for enjoying a dip, building sandcastles, or simply strolling alongside the gently rolling waves.
Usedom is all about the sea: : The Baltic is ever-present, and it exerts a magic pull. A spectacle of waves, sea birds, the kaleidoscopic colours of sky and light and water. A soothing, meditative experience. Usedom is simply a perfect place to replenish your reserves, at any time of the year.
Usedom connects: regular visitors swear by the 150 km network of cycle paths or use the Usedomer Bäderbahn light-rail network, which connects all coastal destinations every half hour during peak season, and also transports bicycles. And what is a seaside holiday without a boat trip? Take a jaunt from one pier to the next, or even to Rügen or into Poland.
On the side of the lagoon – across the shore – you’ll find a contrasting scene: unspoilt nature and tranquillity. Usedom offers something for everybody. Here, Usedom’s undisturbed, gently undulating hinterland awaits.
The hills are strewn with villages and churches, restored windmills, lakes glitter in the sunshine, sailboats cruise the bays and inlets of the Achterwasser, and golfers stroll their banks.
Germany’s second-largest island is packed with treasures waiting to be discovered. This area was once beloved by the gentry, the haute monde, and artists over a century ago. That’s why the imperial spas with their spa architecture are still redolent of a unique charm and rich history.
