The Usedom Island Nature Park covers almost the entire area of Germany's most popular holiday island, Usedom. The diversity of habitats provides suitable living conditions for numerous (endangered) animal and plant species. Hardly anywhere else can you find so many different types of landscape in such a small area: Baltic Sea beaches and inland coasts, lakes and moors, beech forests and dune pines combine with small villages in an old cultural landscape to create a mosaic that surprises with its diversity.
