The sun island. The name is no coincidence. She delights our island for more than two thousand hours, year after year. But the island of Usedom is not only kissed by the sun.
Whether water, forest or wellness - the salty breeze, the pleasant climate and the local remedies are balm for the soul and healing for the body. Even the ancient Greeks appreciated the soothing effects of the sea and knew about the true treasures of the sea: aerosols, algae, sand and silt. They created the epitome of the therapeutic effects of seawater: thalasso [the sea]. And since the Baltic Sea is the capital of our island, the imperial baths are also blessed with these treasures.
The nobility and upper class of the late 19th and early 20th century already enjoyed the summer resorts on the Baltic Sea, built residences by the sea and recovered from the urban jungle.
How could people not be happier on the Baltic Sea beach? Crowds of digging kids and lounging sunbathers prove it year after year, either returning to their favorite island or falling in love with it freshly. After all, we all know that a day at the beach is much more than breathing aerosols or smelling seaweed. Even without science, we feel that a day at the beach makes you happier than everyday life in the office. But with science we get it in black and white: regular time out by the sea reduces the stress level and the risk of heart attack, alleviates symptoms of burnout and depression, prevents sleep disorders and stabilizes the immune system.
But although the coast offers the ideal climatic conditions for climate hikes, Nordic walking and Co., there is also the opportunity to jump into the salty water beyond the dunes and forget the hectic everyday life. Just imagine walking through a lush green forest, the undergrowth crunching under your feet, the air smells of damp earth, the wind is rustling through the fresh leaves and birds are chirping in the treetops...

Sun worshipers and water lovers alike get their money's worth in the imperial baths. While the sun shines an average of 2.000 hours a year on the island, the Baltic Sea offers the possibility of balneological treatments.

The trace elements and minerals of the sea, both in the water and in the air, are absorbed through the skin and respiratory tract and thus have a positive effect on countless ailments.
