Trassenheide butterfly farm

Trassenheide butterfly farm is a large breeding facility in northern Germany where tropical conditions with ponds and planted areas create habitats for butterflies from different regions. Visitors move through various themed sections with different species and can also see mineral collections, fossil displays, and arachnid exhibitions.

This facility was founded to expand educational offerings along the Baltic coastal region of Usedom. It has since grown into a year-round destination for nature observation and learning.

School groups regularly visit to learn about butterfly life cycles and environmental conservation through direct observation. The place serves as a space where people of all ages encounter the diversity of insect life firsthand.

Visitors can explore the facility daily from morning into early evening, with mornings being the best time to watch butterfly hatching at the pupa house. The grounds are laid out straightforwardly and accessible for people of varying mobility levels.

An 11-meter tall ant sculpture called Armi stands in the outdoor area, serving as a striking landmark of the facility. This surprisingly large artwork lets visitors experience the scale of insects from an entirely new perspective.
