Hiking & Nordic Walking

On the island of Usedom the possibilities are endless when it comes to hiking and walking. With more than 400 km of trails at your disposal, you can walk to your heart’s content – for example, along the cliffs to Koserow, into the hinterland towards Mellenthin, or to the small fishing village of Kamminke on Szczecin Lagoon.

Tour recommendations:

Tour option 1: Bansin - Mümmelkensee - Bansin: 11.3 km

Profile: challenging route (up to 38 m above sea level)
Description: from the hotel, head towards the ‘Langer Berg’ (54 m high) and, just before it, turn off to the left into the nature reserve and follow the signposted route to lake Mümmelkensee. En route, you will pass a viewing platform with a view of the lake.
As you continue, you’ll cross the main road, past the Schieferberg (40.7 m hill) and lake Schmollensee towards Fangel forester’s lodge. 

Tour option 2: Usedom centre - Welzin - Stolpe - Usedom town centre: 12.4 km

Profile: a very relaxed tour, with the exception of a few small climbs (up to 15 m above sea level)
Description: the route leads from Usedom town centre (Usedom church, the museum of local history at the Anklamer Tor gate, Schlossberg and the harbour) through the town’s woods, towards Stolpe. In Stolpe, you will pass the medieval fieldstone church and the Stolpe Schloss castle.
The trail continues through meadows and fields towards Welzin. With a little luck you might even see some native animals here (buzzards, seagulls, swans, wild ducks) next to the cheese dairy. From Welzin, follow the trail on towards Ostklüne, but take a right after the cemetery on the embankment.

You’ll then continue along lake Usedom until you reach the district of Paske and your destination back in Usedom town centre.

Options include carriage and wagon rides, as well as pony rides in the vicinity. Our reception desk would be happy to provide information and book your first riding lesson for you.

 

Segway Riding – the Emission-Free Way to Travel around the Island

Experiencing the island in a special way couldn’t be easier in Usedom. Hop on a Segway, for example, and take a slick two-wheeled journey through the spa towns and the hinterland. Using a patented dynamic stabilisation technology, Segways keep their balance and are extremely easy to ride. They can reach top speeds of up to 20 km/h and riding them is, quite simply, a lot of fun. On various guided tours from the Kaiserbäder ‘Imperial Seaside Resorts‘ via Swinemünde and Koserow to tours of Wolgastsee lake and along the Achterwasser, the Segway-curious of at least 15 years of age and possessing at least a moped license can try this trendy mode of travel.

 

Cycling & Mountain-Biking

In Bansin the choice of bike tours is endless. After all, you have approx. 200 km of bike trails to choose from. Tip: cycle along the coast to Peenemünde, or in the other direction to Ahlbeck, continuing through the woods and meadows to the fishing village of Kamminke on Szczecin Lagoon – an amazing taste of nature! And it's always worth taking a jaunt into the island’s hinterlands, with just a few smallish hills along the way.
