Zempin Seaside Resort
Pure relaxation in the smallest seaside resort
Would you like to slow down a bit? The pleasant tranquility of the former fishing village of Zempin instantly eases the stress of everyday life. At the narrowest point of the island of Usedom, between the Baltic Sea and the Achterwasser, life is still quite peaceful.
Here, you'll find your center right away
Quite literally: Usedom’s smallest seaside resort is located in the middle of the 42-kilometer-long outer coast. Here, you can let your gaze wander—over the picturesque landscapes and the idyllic harbor on the Achterwasser—until you lose yourself in the vastness of the horizon. Or you can explore the history of this former fishing village at the local history museum, “Uns olle Schaul.”
There's always something going on at the Kurplatz
In the summer, the Music Pavilion on the Kurplatz is the cultural heart of the town. There’s always something going on there. Lively music blends with the sound of the sea. Marvel at cheerful children’s theater with your little ones, enjoy iconic concerts, or join in the festivities at the Fishermen’s Festival.
