Fall on Usedom

When fall arrives, nature on Usedom really comes into its element. Just smell that—the forest floor, the damp earth! The beech leaves glow in rich shades of yellow and orange. Mushrooms sprout from the grass, dew glistens on the rushes, and spiderwebs catch droplets of mist. The hustle and bustle of summer is a thing of the past. The time has come for you, too, to reward yourself for the year’s hard work and slow down a bit.

Thanks to the heat-retaining bodies of water—the Achterwasser, the Peenestrom, the Szczecin Lagoon, and the Baltic Sea—Usedom enjoys a long, warm fall, usually lasting until the end of October. But the closer November comes, the more likely it is that we'll see the first signs of winter, with night frosts and snowfall. You might also experience a storm tide with hurricane-force winds and choppy seas. A force of nature you’ll remember for a long time.
