Island Usedom

  • Distance: 21 sea miles (to harbour Peenemünde)

Endless, wide beaches of the softest sand, shallow depths and gently sloping banks characterize Usedom’s shoreline, a favorite spot for German summer vacationers and their offspring. Ahlbeck, Bansin and Heringsdorf – the three “Emperor’s Resorts” – delight visitors with their sophisticated resort architecture. They absolutely warrant a visit at every time of the year.

Island Hiddensee

  • Distance: half day  trip, depending on destination (when crossing the Strelasund, consider bridge opening times)

“Sötes Länneken” (sweet little spot) is the endearing name the locals have for that small and beautiful islet on the western side of Germany’s largest island. Hiddensee is a part of the Western Pomeranian Lagoon Area National Park. The traffic-free island has preserved much of its early 20th century charm, which at the time attracted legions of artists and writers to its rugged, beautiful coasts.

Island Rügen

  • Distance: half day or extended day trip, depending on destination

Succumb to Rügen’s unique charms! We recommend a trip to Cap Arkona, a 45 meter high cliff with a stunning vista, a ride on the “Rushing Roland”, an adorable steam-powered narrow gauge railway, or visiting the “Störtebeker Festspiele”, Germany’s most successful open air theater.
