Baltic Sea resort Koserow
The Island's Artistic Hub
Do you enjoy combining walks with visits to small art galleries while on vacation? Then come to Koserow. Here, nature and culture go hand in hand. No wonder the renowned painter Otto Niemeyer-Holstein chose to make this his retreat.
The Original Heart of the Island
Koserow offers more of old Usedom than almost any other town on the island. The oldest church on the outer coast stands here. The historic complex of salt huts, designated a cultural heritage site, offers a deep glimpse into the past. And nowhere else is the legend of the sunken city of Vineta and the myth of the Amber Witch as vivid as it is here. Plus, you’ll find what might just be the best herring in the Baltic Sea and one of the most popular ice cream parlors in the north.

Two Superlatives Right in the Center of the Island
The new star of Koserow stretches out in a wave-like curve into the Baltic Sea: the Koserow Pier. Nearly 300 meters of space for strolling, relaxing, and breathing in the Baltic Sea air—complete with sunrise and sunset views. Want to go higher? Then climb the Streckelsberg—at 58 meters, it’s the highest point on Usedom’s outer coast. Legend has it that the pirate Klaus Störtebeker once hid here.
