Flying to Heringsdorf: tips and information for your trip
A seemingly infinite sandy beach, impressive piers and the cradle of beach chairs known as Strandkörbe, iconic German windbreak seating furniture: you will find all this and much more in Heringsdorf, on Usedom island. The Baltic seaside resort comprises the towns of Ahlbeck, Bansin and Heringsdorf – which were connected by a beautiful beach promenade back in the 19th century. This was later extended to Swinemünde, which is located in the Polish part of Usedom island. If you fly to Heringsdorf , you can expect relaxing days on the beach, fine Baltic seafood and many cultural activities.
The first thing you’ll notice at the promenade are the many gleaming white villas. This "Spa architecture" was created around 1900 when many wealthy citizens built their vacation homes close to the beach of Usedom. These villas are reminiscent of baroque castles, art nouveau villas, Greek temples or Renaissance buildings. Not only the imperial family spent time in these summer houses - many famous artists also made them their summer retreats. In Villa Irmgard, for example, you can still visit Maxim Gorky's study today, while the painter Lyonel Feininger stayed at Villa Oppenheim and produced several of his paintings there.
The Baltic Sea steamers once docked at the large piers. The Ahlbeck pier from 1899 is the oldest in Germany, while the Heringsdorf pier is the longest at 500 meters. The typical Strandkörbe are made in Heringsdorf, in the oldest German Strandkorb factory. Not to be missed: A giant beach chair, which is a popular photo motif and is said to offer space for 70 people.

After your Heringsdorf flight: how to get around the island
The airport on the island of Usedom is located south of Heringsdorf. Buses and cabs will take you to Ahlbeck in less than 15 minutes. To reach Heringsdorf and Bansin and other places on the island takes a little longer. The Usedomer Bäderbahn train (UBB) runs between all these Baltic seaside resorts and furthermore provides connections to the mainland. The UBB also operates several bus routes that cover the entire island. You are more independent with a rental car or a bicycle.
