Continuing Your Journey on the Island

From the bus stops on Usedom, you can easily reach the seaside resorts using the bus routes operated by Vorpommersche Verkehrsbetriebe (VVG).

Take a Break from It All on Usedom

The best thing about traveling by bus is that you don’t need a car on Usedom. Both the seaside resorts and the Usedom hinterland are connected to the 200-kilometer-long network of bike paths. If you don’t feel like spending a day in the saddle, you can reach your desired destination via the Usedomer Bäderbahn trains or the Vorpommersche Verkehrsgesellschaft’s public buses. Or you can lace up your hiking boots and explore Germany’s beautiful “sun island” along 400 km of hiking trails.
