Usedom, Baltic Sea island in Pomerania, Poland and Germany
The 445-square-kilometer island features 110 kilometers of coastline with sandy beaches, forests, marshes, and several lakes across its terrain.
The territory changed hands multiple times through centuries, belonging to Germanic tribes, Polish rulers, Swedish forces, and finally splitting between Poland and Germany after World War II.
The island maintains numerous 19th-century resort buildings from the Gründerzeit period, particularly in seaside towns like Zinnowitz and Ahlbeck.
The island receives 1,906 hours of sunshine annually and connects to mainland through the Świna Strait, offering various transportation options including trains and buses.
Known as Berlin's Bathtub due to its proximity to major German cities, Usedom holds the title of most populated island in the Baltic Sea.
