The three seaside resorts of Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf and Bansin, also known as the Kaiserbäder, lie along the white Baltic Sea coast and are connected by the longest promenade in Europe. Whether you are walking or cycling, you will be amazed by the expanse of fine sandy beach. Amidst large parks, stately villas of the late 19th century era line up, still radiating their splendour. Usedom's seaside resort trio was once a popular destination for aristocrats, bankers and artists such as Maxim Gorky, Theodor Fontane, Kurt Tucholsky and Thomas Mann. Today, the Kaiserbäder are among the most architecturally charming and historic seaside resorts in Germany. The three impressive piers of Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf and Bansin are unmistakable landmarks and very popular for strolling or starting an excursion by boat. All three seaside resorts offer numerous opportunities for active recreation, culture and sports. The white Baltic Sea beach, up to 70 m wide, is perfect for building sandcastles or flying kites. For music and culture lovers, there is a wealth of different offers such as the Usedom Music Festival, the Usedom Jazz Days and many other concerts in the summer season that take place on open-air concert stages.

The Baltic Sea region, its beautiful islands and its unique nature with white beaches, moors, mountains, forests and bays, lend themselves to adventurous and varied exploration tours. So how about an island safari? Embark on an island trip of a special kind with a professional team of passionate biologists, ecologists or landscape guides.

The coastal resorts of Koserow, Loddin, Ückeritz and Zempin, also known as the Bernsteinbäder (Amber baths), are located on the narrowest part of the Baltic Sea island of Usedom and offer a charming setting with cliffs, forests and the Achterwasser, a lagoon of the Peene River. The name Amber Spas derives from the fact that amber can still often be found on the beaches of these places, especially after storms. However, it is not only the golden gems, but also the beautiful nature and location between the Baltic Sea and the Achterwasser that make the Amber Spas so charming.

During World War II, from 1936 to 1945, the Peenemünde Experimental Station was the largest military research centre in Europe. Forced labourers, for the most part, worked and researched on new types of weapons systems in a huge area, including the first functioning large rocket. Later, some of these weapons were used as terror weapons against the civilian population or as so-called retaliatory weapons in the Second World War. The Peenemünde Historical-Technical Museum presents the history of the test facilities and the people who lived here in the form of an informative and exciting permanent exhibition and various events.
