Koserow
Accommodation in Koserow
Beach and water sports, a distinctive Baltic Sea landmark, and a unique landscape feature nearby: Koserow brings together a range of reasons to stay on Usedom. Visitors choosing a holiday destination based on their interests will find both nature and cultural experiences, as well as leisure activities here.
Coastal landscape and pier
Streckelsberg lies near Koserow. This cliff-edge dune formed during the last ice age as a push moraine and has been a nature reserve since 1957. Alongside the beach, it offers another landscape landmark for anyone interested in the island’s natural history. Streckelsberg is therefore a distinct natural feature to explore when learning about Koserow and its surroundings.
Another distinctive landmark is the Koserow pier. Completed in 2021, it has an unusual shape and is almost 300 metres long. Its length and distinctive design make it an easily recognisable part of the townscape. Visitors who also consider maritime architecture when choosing a Baltic Sea destination can keep this in mind when considering Koserow. Koserow beach also has a dedicated sailing area for sailors and surfers. Beach visits and water sports can thus be considered as separate interests when planning a trip, rather than being presented as a single combined offering.
Leisure activities for a range of interests
Karls Erlebnis-Dorf Usedom in Koserow offers more than 50 attractions. The offerings are complemented by regular live demonstrations showing how wood-fired oven bread, jam, sweets and chocolate are made. This combines the attractions with informative insights into different production methods. Anyone interested in food and how it is made will find a different focus here than at the beach, pier or natural sites.
Another leisure option is the Koserow mini-golf course. It has two courses with a total of 36 holes and is integrated into the existing natural tree cover. The two courses offer a specific choice within the same activity, while the total number of holes indicates the scale of the facility. Its integration into the existing tree cover also gives it a different design from a purely functional playing area. Mini-golf can therefore be considered a separate activity alongside the larger attractions and the nature and coastal offerings.
Church, art and events
The village church in Koserow is one of the oldest churches on the island of Usedom and the only medieval church on Usedom’s Baltic coast. Its historical significance makes it a distinctive cultural feature of the town. The church hosts theatre performances, concerts and readings as part of the “Classics by the Sea” (“Klassik am Meer”) event series. The programme ranges from stage performances and music to literature. Culture enthusiasts can consider this event series as a distinct aspect of Koserow, alongside the church building itself.
The Koserow Art Salon has been operating as a gallery and art dealer since 2006. Visual art is another part of the town’s cultural offering. The terms gallery and art dealer describe the Art Salon’s two functions. Together with the village church and the event series, it offers a cultural perspective on Koserow that differs from the beach experiences and leisure activities.
Explore Koserow by bike
Koserow is connected to the Usedom island cycle network. This connection is a relevant feature for travellers who would like to include cycling in their holiday plans. It links Koserow to the island-wide network without specifying a particular route or distance. When choosing Koserow, visitors can therefore consider opportunities for an active stay alongside the coast, nature and culture.
