Naturally Healthy

Can you feel how soothing the mild, invigorating climate, the refreshing Baltic Sea breeze, and the steady sound of the waves are? Have you already discovered the natural and locally sourced remedies of the island of Usedom?

Health from the Depths

As one of the oldest regional natural remedies, Heringsdorf iodine brine has a long-standing tradition. For over 95 years, it has been extracted directly at the Heringsdorf pier from a depth of over 400 meters. With its natural content of valuable minerals and trace elements, the 4% iodine-containing Heringsdorf brine is recognized as a medicinal product and is the only drinking brine approved in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Can you feel the healing effects?

At the OstseeTherme Usedom and the Strandhotel Heringsdorf, you can bathe in water containing iodine-rich brine. The iodine-rich water is fed directly into the pools from the iodine-brine well next to the Heringsdorf pier. Here, the specific properties of the brine are utilized primarily for wellness and beauty treatments.
