Summer. Sun. Baltic Sea.

Take the opportunity and come with us on a round trip across the Polish island of Wollin. The north-western part was declared a national park due to its unique flora and fauna. You’ll visit a number of places, including the traditional Miedzyzdroje Baltic resort with its attractive resort architecture, which up until the middle of the 19th century was a minor fishing village. With the discovery of the brine springs there, it was promoted in the second half of the 19th century to a seaside resort attracting mostly well-off visitors from Berlin and Szczecin, who built their villas here. “The Pearl of the Baltic Sea” with its fantastic sandy beaches and magnificent villas from the Wilhelminian period is once again enjoying great popularity these days. You’ll also stop off in Kamien Pomorski, where after a short stroll, you’ll visit the cathedral. The excursion culminates in a short organ concert.

By the 19th century, Usedom was already a popular summer holiday destination for the wealthy bourgeoisie and nobility due to its fine sandy beaches, woods, small lakes and tranquil lagoon countryside. Both the wealthy middle class as well as the nobility enjoyed life in the Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf and Bansin seaside resorts. The numerous houses in classical style of the “spa architecture” still give you a hint of the glamorous atmosphere of days gone by. Where once the Mann brothers, Gorki and Tolstoi walked, today’s excursion will take you past impressive Wilhelminian period villas, distinctive Albeck pier crowned with turrets and the longest pier in the Baltic sea in Heringsdorf. The pier with its restaurant pavilion is Ahlbeck’s distinctive landmark and a popular setting in films and TV.

This tour takes you round the northern end of the island to visit the famous chalk cliffs, which rise up some 400ft out of the sea. The highest point here is the so-called „Königsstuhl“ (Throne). The cliffs have inspired many poets and artists, such as the landscape painter Caspar David Friedrich, who immortalised the cliffs in his famous work „Kreidefelsen auf Rügen“.

We invite you to explore this attractive Hanseatic port with its historic buildings in the course of a guided walk. The restored buildings are surrounded by a medieval turreted city wall and by several small lakes, all providing a harmonious picture. The Town Hall with its impressive facade is another fine example of Brick Gothic architecture.
