Hiking on Usedom

The island of Usedom offers you numerous opportunities for hiking and walking. You can get active on over 400 km of trails - for example along the cliffs to Koserow; into the Achterland towards Mellenthin or to the small fishing village of Kamminke, which lies on the Szczecin Lagoon.

Usedom town - Welzin - Stolpe - Usedom town: 12.4 km

Profile: A very pleasant tour (up to 15 m above sea level) with only a few small inclines
Description: The trail takes you from Usedom town (Usedom church, local history museum in Anklamer Tor, Schlossberg and the harbour) through the town forest to Stolpe. In Stolpe, you will pass the medieval fieldstone church and Stolpe Castle.
The trail continues across meadows and fields in the direction of Welzin. If you are lucky, you may also spot local animals (buzzards, seagulls, swans and wild ducks). From Welzin, the path continues in the direction of Ostklüne, but turn right onto the dyke after the cemetery.

Cycling & bike rental

Bansin offers a wide range of cycling options. After all, there are around 200 km of cycle paths. Tip: Cycle along the coast to Peenemünde or in the other direction to Ahlbeck, continuing through forests and meadows to the fishing village of Kamminke on the Little Lagoon - a great nature experience! But a trip to the island's hinterland is also always worth it - despite the slight differences in altitude.

Segway tour on Usedom

Experiencing the island in a special way is easy. For example, just hop on a Segway and enjoy a relaxed ride through the villages of Usedom and the Achterland. Thanks to the dynamic stabilization technology, Segways keep their balance all by themselves and are easy to ride. They reach top speeds of up to 20 km/h and the riding is a lot of fun. There are various guided tours: from the coast to Swinemünde and Koserow or the tour around Lake Wolgast and along the Achterwasser. Curious visitors from 15 years up and with at least a moped license are allowed to try out the segways.

Golf & SwinGolf

Korswandt offers an 18-hole golf course - beautifully embedded in the unique nature of the island. Guests can play golf on Usedom in a relaxed atmosphere without having to travel long distances because the course is just a 10-minute drive from our hotel.

Or how about a round of SwinGolf? Unlike conventional golf, the SwinGolf balls are larger, softer, and they even float on water. As it is a simple form of golf, it is ideal for families and promises fun for young and old. Visit the newly created SwinGolf course on the Lieper Winkel peninsula in Reestow, right next to the "Zum Storchennest" vacation resort.
