When it comes to special places on Usedom, the Botanical Garden Mellenthin should not be missed. Year after year, visitors immerse themselves in a colorful sea of flowers and plants from April to October.

The garden spans 60,000 m². It showcases primarily native flora in beautifully designed themed gardens, such as in the Rhododendron Garden or the Rose Garden.

Each of the themed gardens is labeled in Latin, German, and Polish. With their help, you can refresh or expand your plant knowledge. Additionally, you will find plant suggestions for your home.

From spring to late autumn, around 50,000 plants bloom successively. This causes the Botanical Garden to change its appearance multiple times throughout the year, making it a fresh experience in every season.

Opening hours: April - October daily from 9:00 AM - dusk | Address: Chausseeberg 1, 17429 Mellenthin

Tip: A particularly nice spot for a break is located at the end of the Botanical Garden. The large lawn is dotted with many small ponds, streams, and a small waterfall, together creating the perfect setting for a moment of reflection.

Big, bigger, XXL beach chair in Heringsdorf! Since May 2014, Usedom Island has gained a new attraction. The XXL beach chair is one of the most photographed objects on the sun island - and rightly so!

The XXL beach chair features a blue and white sun sail and has been enhancing the Baltic panorama of Heringsdorf between the pier and the concert shell since spring 2014.

This giant beach chair was made by the beach chair manufacturer 'Korbwerk', which invested over 1,000 working hours into this extraordinary chair. But that's not all: It also used 3.5 m3 of wood, 85 m² of fabric, and 3 km of woven band.

If you want to see this new Usedom attraction, simply head for the Heringsdorf pier.

Did you know? It is now 6 meters wide, 4 meters high, and 3 meters deep, making it the largest of its kind in the world.

What would Usedom be without its piers? On Usedom's piers, you have the opportunity to stroll over 1,649 meters above the waters of the Baltic Sea and embark on exciting ship tours. Popular destinations include neighboring Poland and many other charming Baltic islands.

The shortest pier in Usedom is the pier in Koserow. It measures just 261 meters and was rebuilt in 1993.

100 years older and about 20 meters longer is the 'Old Lady' in Ahlbeck, which still shines in timeless beauty.

Many visitors also flock to Zinnowitz. The local pier measures 315 meters, making it the second longest on Usedom. Here, you also have the opportunity to dive into the underwater world with the diver gondola.

The longest pier in Germany, however, is in Heringsdorf. It measures 508 meters and is a real showcase. Here you can shop, stroll, and enjoy. Included is the stunning view of the coast, the Polish harbor, and the sea.

Tip: The Heringsdorf pier is not just any pier. The sheltered walkway features several shops, a museum, and a wax figure cabinet. The pavilion at the end of the pier hosts several restaurants.

Every summer, Zinnowitz transforms into a festival stage where the legendary tale of the city of Vineta is enacted.

The legend tells that Vineta did not sufficiently value its riches. The city was filled with gold, silver, velvet, and silk. Even the pigs ate from golden troughs. For this behavior, Vineta was to be punished and threatened to be swallowed by the sea.

Just before the impending doom, the legacy of the Water Women appears. It states that if three righteous citizens could be found in the corrupt city, Vineta could be saved from destruction. Two (somewhat) honest citizens are quickly found. Only the third one does not want to reveal his honest secret - only his beloved knows it.

A ride on the gondola lasts about 30 minutes and introduces you to the habitat of the largest brackish water sea. Once the gondola has sunk, it sits around 4 meters below the water surface and 1 meter above the seabed.

Here, you have the chance to observe fish, crabs, jellyfish, and other marine creatures in their natural environment. Let our number 7 Usedom attraction enchant you!

One of the most popular excursion destinations on Usedom secures itself the 8th place in our Top 10 Usedom attractions: The Tropical House Zoo Bansin.

Here you can admire exotic animals and plants in tropical variety. For example, tropical frogs and insects await you, just like iguanas, chameleons, or monkeys.

The Tropical House Bansin has a tradition of more than 50 years. It originally emerged from a community greenhouse for exotic plants. Over the decades, however, exotic animals also joined in. These are what make the Tropical House today the smallest zoo in the world.

On 250 m² indoors and 1,300 m² outdoors, around 150 animals from 70 different species can be observed, along with 120 species of plants.

Opening hours: April - September: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM | October - March: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
