Koserow

Koserow is a seaside resort on the southern coast of the island of Usedom. The village stretches between sandy beaches and forested areas, with traditional villas and modern vacation homes mixed with small shops and cafes that serve everyday needs.

The area had early Slavic settlement before coming under German control. The modern resort developed in the 1800s when the railroad improved access to the island, drawing city dwellers seeking rest and recovery.

The village takes its name from Slavic origins, reflecting the region's early settlement history. Today, the seaside holiday tradition shapes how locals and visitors move through the streets, with beach culture woven into everyday life here.

The village has good public transit connections and a train station linking to the mainland. Visitors will find accommodation options ranging from small guesthouses to larger hotels, with all the basic services needed for a beach stay.

The village sits where steep cliffs of sand and clay rise above the beach and visibly erode during storms. This geological feature has shaped the landscape for generations and draws earth scientists and nature enthusiasts to study it.
