Koserow seaside resort

Are you longing for that seaside holiday sensation?

Tranquil and beautiful

Koserow – the amber resort

The village, which originally made its living from fishing, has developed into a Baltic Sea resort while retaining its traditional roots. You can still buy freshly smoked fish caught by the fishermen themselves on the beach in Koserow.

The fine sandy seashore near Koserow is an open invitation to get active – whether playing football, volleyball or walking along the beach and the steep coast beyond it. A walk along the seafront is also worthwhile in the colder seasons. Koserow is an amber resort where amber can be found on the beach after big storms.

Water sports on Usedom

Usedom offers more than just the stunning sea: the Achterwasser – a large bay stretching from the Gnitz peninsula near Lütow via Zempin and Loddin to the Lieper Winkel peninsula – also awaits you.

Surfing on Usedom: For beginners, we recommend surfing on the calmer Achterwasser, while confident surfers can also try their hand on the outer coast and the Greifswald Bodden.

Kiteboarding: A combination of surfing and paragliding, kiteboarding is possible on Usedom on the Achterwasser (Stagnieß and Ückeritz harbours), the Baltic Sea (Karlshagen) and the Greifswald Bodden (Lubmin, Galkow).

Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP): You can try your hand at SUP on the Achterwasser and the Baltic Sea and explore routes on Usedom. We have two SUPs to rent at the hotel for a charge.

Diving: You can get a diving licence on Usedom and take part in various guided trips, e.g. from Zinnowitz.

Sailing: Sailing trips with the “Weißen Düne” (White Dune) can be taken from the harbours in Wolgast, Neppermin and Karlshagen. What are known as Zeesenboot boats sail on the Achterwasser – the starting point is in Krummin harbour. You can also explore Usedom with yachts and sports boats, e.g. from the harbours in Ückeritz and Zinnowitz.
