LOCATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Found a little further east along the Baltic coast from Rugen Island and shared by Germany and Poland, is Usedom. It is Germany\u2019s second largest island; its landscape is hilly and spacious, featuring lovely beaches (it boasts 42km of fine white sandy coastline), grasslands and woods as well as rivers and lakes. Not only is the environment lovely but the weather is amazing too – over 2,000 hours of sunshine per year makes Usedom the sunniest area of Germany. There are five historic piers reaching out from the island that enable visitors a stroll over the sea.
\nThe longest beach promenade in Europe is lined with mile after mile of mansions, villas and holiday houses built in Resort Architecture style.<\/p>\n

SCENIC CHARACTER<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the far north-east part of Germany lies the island of Usedom, Germany\u2019s second largest island, and one of the few islands in the world to be divided between two different countries. It\u2019s a inspiring experience to see how the rolling hills of this island change into flat, expansive plains. There are many small bays along the entire coast and some amazing beaches throughout.<\/p>\n

Three nature parks allow visitors to get up close to distinctive flora and fauna of the region: the Nature Park Island of Usedom, the Nature Park at Szczecin Lagoon and the Nature Park Riverscape Peene Valley. Usedom has a total of around 200 kilometres of cycle trails and around 400 kilometres of hiking paths. Visitors to Usedom not only have the Baltic Sea as their setting, they also have stunning Achterwasser Lagoon, beautiful River Peene and numerous inland lakes at their disposal; a paradise for yachtsmen, windsurfers, kitesurfers and kayakers.<\/p>\n

ATTRACTIONS
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The island is known as \u201cBerlin\u2019s bathtub\u201d because of the thermal spas that dot the area. The Kaiserb\u00e4der (Emperor\u2019s spas) of Heringsdorf, Ahlbeck and Bansin were all frequently visited by Wilhelm II. These are all amazing for having a soak in and letting all your cares drift away.<\/p>\n
