A grey sky is not a lost day on Usedom

The island has its best days in spring and autumn — and some of them start with rain. Here is what still works.

Book now Sauna in the house — no need to go out
Indoors

Not going outside at all

Sauna, infrared cabin, whirlpool and a quiet room with wooden loungers — the spa exists for exactly these days. No day ticket, no drive, no booking needed for hotel guests.

Afterwards, homemade ice cream in the café or pizza straight from the wood-fired oven. Neither route passes through any rain.

Three destinations that are better in the rain than in the sun

Butterfly farm Trassenheide, approx. 3 km

Tropically warm, entirely under cover and the obvious destination for children when the beach is out. Reachable from the hotel by bike or on the island railway.

Historical Technical Museum Peenemünde, approx. 9 km

The place where the first large rocket was developed during the Second World War. The museum treats the history critically and needs several hours — for older children and adults.

The imperial spas, approx. 30 km

Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf and Bansin with their spa architecture, piers and enough cafés for a long afternoon. Reachable without a car on the Usedomer Bäderbahn.

Honestly

And if it is only drizzling: go out

The beach in the north of Usedom is practically empty in bad weather. Wind from the west, a rain jacket, two kilometres along the water — and the sauna afterwards. Some guests come in November for exactly this and not in July.

The Peenemünde woods behind the dune are the sheltered alternative when it blows too hard off the sea.

Does the hotel have a sauna?

Yes. The in-house spa includes a sauna, infrared cabin, whirlpool and a quiet room, and can also be rented exclusively for groups.

How far is the butterfly farm in Trassenheide?

Is Usedom worth visiting outside the summer season?
