on Usedom

The island of Usedom offers you numerous opportunities for hiking and walking.

Bansin - Mümmelkensee - Bansin:
11.3 km

Profile: Challenging route (up to 38 m above sea level)

Description: Start from the hotel in the direction of "Langer Berg" (54 m high), turn left shortly before into the nature reserve and follow the signposted path to Mümmelkensee. You will pass a viewing platform with a view of the lake.
You then cross the main road, walk past the Schieferberg (40.7 m high) and the Schmollensee in the direction of Forsthaus Fangel. From there, your tour continues to the two Krebsseen lakes to Neu Sallenthin (from the Krückenberg you have the opportunity to visit the "Sieben-Seen-Blick" viewpoint). The route now takes you back to Bansin Dorf and then you follow the Fischerweg to the hotel.

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

Profile: A very pleasant tour (up to 15 m above sea level) apart from a few small inclines

Description: The route 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 towards Welzin. If you are lucky, you may also spot local animals (buzzards, seagulls, swans and wild ducks) as well as the cheese dairy. From Welzin, the path continues in the direction of Ostklüne, but turn right onto the dyke after the cemetery.

Cycling &
Bike hire

There is a wide range of cycling options in Bansin. After all, there are around 200 km of cycle paths to choose from.

Tip: Why not 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 worthwhile - despite the slight differences in altitude.

Segway tour on Usedom

Experiencing the island in a special way is easy on Usedom. For example, hop on a Segway for a change and roll through the seaside resorts and the Achterland on two wheels . Thanks to patented dynamic stabilisation 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 riders have a lot of fun. On various guided tours, from the Kaiserbäder to Swinemünde and Koserow to the tour around Lake Wolgast and along the Achterwasser, curious people aged 15 and over with at least a moped licence can try out the trendy device.

Golf & SwinGolf

Korswandt offers an 18-hole golf course - beautifully embedded in the unique nature of the island. Holiday guests can enjoy golf on Usedom in a relaxed atmosphere without having to travel long distances. The course is only 10 minutes by car from our hotel . Or how about a round of SwinGolf? Unlike conventional golf, the SwinGolf balls are larger, softer and even floatable. As it is a simplified form of golf, this leisure activity is ideal for families and promises fun for young and old alike. Visit the newly created SwinGolf course on the Lieper Winkel peninsula in Reestow, right next to the "Zum Storchennest" holiday complex.
