Ein Stück Usedom für zu Hause
Nowhere else on the island is there as much forest as on the narrow spit of land between the Baltic Sea and the Achterwasser. Pitch your tent in the fragrant coastal forest and let the gentle sound of the Baltic Sea lull you to sleep. Glide across the Achterwasser toward the sunset on a surfboard, stand-up paddleboard, or sailboat.
Ückeritz offers a natural and diverse vacation experience. Are you looking for peace and quiet in nature? Then you’ll love this green Baltic Sea resort. Thatched-roof fishermen’s cottages in the town center tell the story of this former farming and fishing village. Take long walks through the forests surrounding the Wockninsee Nature Reserve .
Or would you rather get active on the water? Whether you’re standing on a surfboard for the first time or are already almost a pro, the Achterwasser offers the perfect spot for sailing, surfing, and kitesurfing, and the sailing school at Café Knatter provides all the equipment you need.
This is sure to set the hearts of camping enthusiasts racing. Check in at the coastal forest right behind the dunes. The “Am Strand” nature campground, stretching four and a half kilometers along the Baltic Sea, offers countless campers a dreamlike setting.
Drawn by the tranquility and unspoiled nature, artists such as Otto Manigk, Herbert Wegehaupt, and Karen Schacht found their retreat here to work nearly a hundred years ago. Every fall, an exhibition at the Haus des Gastes commemorates the Usedom painters.
The beach in Ückeritz is particularly charming. Here, rugged cliffs alternate with gentle dunes. Take a walk along the nature trail above the cliffs through a beautiful beech forest and let your gaze wander far out over the Baltic Sea. On the promenade, you can enjoy a snack or pick up some small souvenirs to remember your vacation by.
Want to do more than just lounge on the beach? Climb from tree to tree at heights of up to 14 meters in the climbing forest and feel like Tarzan. When a strong west wind is blowing, there’s always something to see on the Achterwasser as countless colorful kitesurfers dart across the water. You can get an interesting lesson on the forest at the Waldkabinett at the Neu Pudagla Forest Office.
Let an expert show you the sights, quiet nooks, and fantastic viewpoints of the Bernsteinbäder. Join the “Bernsteinbäder Tour.” You can rent bicycles and e-bikes right in town or have them delivered by a bike rental service. For more information, please contact the Ückeritz Tourist Office.
