Streckelsberg hill in Koserow

The 60-metre high Streckelsberg is situated directly next to the H+ Hotel Ferienpark Usedom and is the highest spot on Usedom. According to legend, the pirate Klaus Störtebecker hid in the Streckelsberg caves. Today, the Streckelsberg is a nature reserve, a 300-metre sea wall protecting the steep cliffs against erosion.

The Koserow fish salting huts

During the 19th century, Usedom fishermen began preserving fish with salt in reed roofed huts near the beach, where the preserved fish were stored. Visitors can view the huts, which are in their original state, and sample some of the delicious fish available there.

Experience the Baltic Sea 4 metres underwater in a diving capsule at the Zinnowitz Lake Bridge. Learn fascinating facts about the natural world of the Baltic Sea during the dive.

Usedom Lake Bridges

No visit to Usedom is complete without walking over the Lake Bridges, just a short distance away from the H+ Hotel Ferienpark Usedom in Koserow. After a walk along the beach, watch the sun going down on the 261-metre-long lake bridge. If you prefer going further afield, visit the lake bridge in Heringsdorf (508 m) where you can even shop, or go to other lake bridges in Ahlbeck or Zinnowitz.

Butterfly farm in Trassenheide

Be enchanted by the blaze of colours presented by the huge number of butterfly varieties in Europe´s largest butterfly hall. Also on view are exotic plants, bird-eating spiders, scorpions and insects.


The Kaiserbäder bathing resorts

Bansin, Heringsdorf and Ahlbeck are the „Kaiserbäder“, or Emperor´s Bathing Resorts. Stroll along the 8.5 km long promenade and take in wonderfully unique architecture – you´ll feel transported back into the distant past. Lovingly renovated villas reflect the splendour of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Cinema and theatre – a different take

The Koserow drive-in cinema, open during the summer, invites guests to view films whilst enjoying popcorn and soft drinks, or you may prefer enjoying theatre performances, concerts, music and literature in the „Blechbüchse“ theatre in Zinnowitz.

Peenemünde

Peenemünde is a worthwhile day trip as there are several attractions in the area. Visit the historical Technical Museum in the former bunker control room or the aircraft museum exhibiting helicopters and aircraft. Go down into a real submarine at the submarine museum in Peenemünde harbour, or the Phänomenta exhibition, where children can conduct many experiments of their own.  Phänomenta is a good option for a visit if the weather is bad.

Submarine JULIETT U-461

The last existing sub from the Juliett class, the U-461 built for the Soviet navy, is in Peenemünde. This museum exhibits the largest standard diesel driven submarine missile cruiser ever built, and is well worth a visit.
