Usedom (Stadt)

Welcome to beautiful Usedom in the region of Vorpommern-Greifswald. The island is separated from Poland by the Baltic Sea and covers 445 square kilometres. With its fine sandy beaches, picturesque bays and cliffs, it is a paradise for holidaymakers.

Tourist attractions abound on Usedom. Particularly worth seeing are Stolpe Castle, Mellenthin moated castle and the Gothic brick church in Trassenheide. You should also not miss a ride on the historic steam train "Molli" or a trip to the Peenemünde lighthouse.

Cultural highlights are offered above all by the numerous museums such as the Amber Museum in Sellin or the Historical-Technical Museum in Peenemünde, which is a reminder of rocket construction during the Second World War.

But Usedom also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine: Be sure to try fresh fish from the Baltic Sea or enjoy traditional dishes such as Pomeranian roast goose or Rügener Matjesfilets.

The best outdoor activities can be enjoyed on the beach: whether swimming, sunbathing or playing beach volleyball - everyone gets their money's worth here! But also cycling along the coastline offers a magnificent view of the sea and nature. In autumn, mushroom hunters can have their fun and in winter even ice fishing on the frozen lakes beckons.

And what do you do when it rains? No problem: visit the maritime museum in Stralsund or the Ozeaneum exhibition, for example. A trip to the cinema or theatre is also a good idea.

Where is the most beautiful place on Usedom? That depends on your personal preferences, of course. But the imperial resorts of Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf and Bansin are particularly recommendable, as is the nature park on the island of Usedom with its many hiking trails and vantage points.

Total: Usedom is definitely worth a trip! This Travel Guide has now given you an overview of the most important sights, activities and culinary highlights - pack your bags and experience this dreamlike region of Vorpommern-Greifswald for yourself.
