To a Safari on Usedom

Families with children will find age-appropriate leisure activities and excursions on Usedom just as easily as couples in love and solo travelers of all ages. For example, on the INSEL-SAFARI, you can explore the unique natural and cultural landscape along the Pomeranian Bay. Equally worthwhile is a trip to the Usedom Island Nature Park with its marshes, forests, and scenic overlooks. Those who want to experience the landscape from a different perspective can explore the unspoiled nature from the water on a guided canoe tour through the Achterwasser or the Peene River.

Face to Face with Wolves and Bison

Parents who travel with children know: Animals are always a hit! On Usedom, there’s a natural bison enclosure. Here, you can observe this primitive, wild breed of cattle up close. Just outside the island of Usedom, in Wolgast, there’s a very beautiful and family-friendly zoo. You can get up close and personal with many of the animals here. Pet the cheerful alpacas or look into the mesmerizing eyes of a real wolf.

First, shopping; then, the movies

Not always in the mood for the great outdoors? Usedom’s towns also offer plenty of opportunities for a variety of leisure activities.
