Kaiserbäder

The weekend on Usedom is all about icy beach fun: the world championships in the beach chair sprint and the winter bathing spectacle. While the beach chair sprint at the World Cup is sporty, the winter swimming spectacle will be ice cold.

The world champion title in the beach chair sprint is secured by the team that covers the fastest distance of 20 meters together with the beach chair. Teams of two are required to have enough strength to carry a beach chair weighing approximately 60 kg over the distance.

At the winter bathing spectacle, around 150 disguised water rats plunge into the cold Baltic Sea waters, while most of us wrap up in warm coats and hats. A varied supporting program as well as food and drink stands invite you to linger.
