Traveling to Usedom: Finally Arriving
You may prefer to take your own car on your trip. But it’s worth considering the alternatives as well. Take the train or a long-distance bus: Compared to a car, these modes of transportation produce significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions per passenger-kilometer and allow you to enjoy a relaxing journey. On the island itself, rental companies and hotels often offer a free shuttle from the train station to your lodging. Or you can take on the challenge of cycling to the island under your own power along one of the long-distance bike trails.
Sustainable Transportation on the Sunny Island
Once you arrive on Usedom, there are many eco-friendly ways to explore the island. You can rent bicycles and e-bikes literally on every corner. If you’re traveling in an electric vehicle, you’ll find 25 charging stations located throughout the island. The island is also attractive for travelers using public transportation: The Bäderbahn line and the Inselentdecker bus routes connect the seaside resorts and the towns in the hinterland.
Useful Information for Your Trip
You don’t have to take a ferry to get to the island of Usedom. Two bridges over the Peene River connect the mainland to the island. If you’re coming from the west or heading to the northern seaside resorts, it’s best to use the Wolgast Peene Bridge, which carries both cars and trains. If you’re coming from Berlin, take the Zecherin Bridge in the southeast of the island.
If you’re traveling from nearby, check out Deutsche Bahn’s offers: With the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Ticket starting at 22 euros, travel from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Hamburg, or Lübeck is particularly affordable. The ticket is also valid on the Usedomer Bäderbahn. The Quer-durchs-Land-Ticket, starting at 44 euros, is valid for one day on local transit throughout Germany. Up to 3 children between the ages of 6 and 15 ride for free.
UBB’s long-distance bus routes offer daily service between Berlin and Usedom, as well as between Hamburg and Usedom. This allows you to travel and commute with exceptional flexibility, switching as needed between the bustling city and relaxed beach life—or between shopping, art, and culture, and the island’s unspoiled nature. In just over five hours, you’ll arrive in a whole new world—without having to transfer! Just buckle up and sit back and relax.
That was quick! Just a moment ago, you were still at the terminal in Frankfurt (Main), Mannheim, Kassel, or Luxembourg. Now, the sound of crashing waves and the briny sea air greet you at the Heringsdorf Airport. After just a 90-minute flight, your island getaway begins. Take a deep breath—the climate on Usedom is truly one-of-a-kind. Where else do the sea and nature come together as uniquely as they do on the sunny island of Usedom?
