Heringsdorf on the Island of Usedom the second largest island of Germany, is one of the sea resort towns which has been able to preserve the charms of a splendid past. Seemingly endless white sandy beaches, the impressive piers of the 3 imperial resort towns, villas along the beach promenade and a charming hinterland all characterise this town and this island.
Elegant villas along the beach promenade let you sense the splendour of this noble and fashionable sea resort town from around the turn of the century. Already in 1879 Heringsdorf was awarded the status of a sea resort town.
