Recharge Your Batteries in the Spa and Healing Forest

While life bustles along the promenade in the historic seaside resorts of the Kaiserbäder, you’ll find incredible peace and quiet right “next door” in the spa and healing forest. Since 2015, the Kaiserbäder on the island of Usedom have been harnessing the power of the forest for people’s health through their project “Europe’s First Spa and Healing Forest.” In addition to the beneficial climatic conditions—the result of the unique combination of sea and forest air—the Spa and Healing Forest has a few surprises in store for its guests: varied terrain, integrated stations, and historic sites. The trails over hill and dale are interspersed here and there with motor skills or sensory trails and pass through historic sites.

Nordic Walking

Walking rhythmically along the beach toward the sun—with a pole in each hand: Nordic walking in the Kaiserbäder combines exercise with fresh Baltic Sea air and a varied coastal landscape. While walking primarily trains the leg muscles and endurance, the targeted use of poles also engages the arms, shoulders, and back. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced walker—the Nordic walking trails in Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf, and Bansin, ranging from about four to 20 kilometers in length, offer suitable routes for different fitness levels. The trails lead along the Baltic Sea, through the coastal forest, and through the charming natural scenery of Usedom. This makes Nordic walking an active experience in nature and the ideal combination of exercise, relaxation, and the healthy Baltic Sea climate.

Climate Hike

Whether it’s a stroll along the seashore or a climate walk between the piers—being active on the Baltic Sea combines the experience of nature with the unique benefits of the coastal climate. Wind, temperature, sunshine, and sea spray provide natural climatic stimuli, while walking strengthens muscles, boosts circulation, and improves endurance.
A climate hike in the Kaiserbäder specifically combines physical activity with the Baltic Sea climate. Various routes along the beach, the promenade, or through the coastal forest allow you to tailor your hike to your fitness level and well-being. Sunlight also supports the body’s natural production of vitamin D. This makes a climate hike on Usedom a soothing combination of physical activity, fresh sea air, and mindful relaxation.

Iodine brine

Heringsdorf iodine brine comes from the only brine spring in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and is a special, locally sourced remedy used in the Kaiserbäder. Extracted from a depth of 408 meters, the 4-percent brine contains valuable mineral salts and is used therapeutically to treat various ailments. These include, among others, skin and respiratory conditions, as well as metabolic and digestive disorders. The iodine brine on Usedom can be used both internally and externally—for example, in the form of brine baths, inhalations, or drinking brine. This makes it an important part of the health and healing tradition of the Kaiserbäder.

Thalasso

Thalasso is a holistic naturopathic treatment that specifically harnesses the natural powers of the sea to promote health and well-being. It makes use of seawater, sea air, sunlight, and the stimulating maritime climate. Thalasso is subject to established quality standards and can only be authentically offered in locations where the natural conditions are present directly by the sea. Expert physicians, therapists, and massage therapists guide the various thalasso treatments. These can, among other things, provide relief for conditions such as rheumatism or atopic dermatitis. In this way, thalassotherapy on the Baltic Sea combines natural remedies with exercise, relaxation, and conscious regeneration.

Running on the Baltic Sea Beach

Fresh Baltic Sea air, the sound of the waves, and the horizon always in sight: running on the Baltic Sea beach combines exercise with a unique experience of nature. Whether right by the water or along the promenade through Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf, and Bansin—when jogging on Usedom, you set your own pace and route while enjoying the vastness of the Baltic Sea.

Yoga gives you a space where you can find your inner peace
My name is Nadine Willenbockel, and I’ve been teaching yoga and fitness for nearly three decades. In my flowing yoga class, you’ll find Yang (energy, strength), but also a generous dose of Yin (calm). This is about so much more than just stretching and movement—you’ll learn to listen (again) more closely to your body and soul. Yoga doesn’t just happen on the mat. You can bring mindfulness, gratitude, and self-love into your everyday life. You’re warmly welcome!

At the Kaiserbäder, sunbathers and water lovers alike will find what they’re looking for. While the sun shines on the island for an average of 2,000 hours a year, the Baltic Sea offers the opportunity for balneological treatments. The composition of fresh Baltic Sea water largely corresponds to that of human blood. The trace elements and minerals from the sea—found both in the water and in the air—are absorbed through the skin and respiratory tract, thereby having a positive effect on countless ailments. In addition to seawater, the Heringsdorf iodine brine is also a natural healing source. It is extracted as a 4.1-percent sodium chloride solution from a depth of 408 meters and, unlike Baltic Sea water, is also used for internal applications.

Whether it’s climate hiking, Nordic walking, a sports beach, or an active promenade—exercising in the fresh air, combined with the positive effects of climate factors and surf aerosols, strengthens the immune system, muscles, and endurance. While you can strengthen your body on your own in our open-air fitness studios, team play is encouraged on the sports beach with beach soccer, volleyball, and beach tennis. If you’d like to take part in a class—such as yoga, beach gymnastics, abs-legs-glutes, or back fitness—you’re also in good hands here at the sports beach. These classes, with fine sand beneath your feet, are available all summer long. At the OstseeTherme Usedom , the fitness center offers aqua fitness, Body-Fit, and Cross-Workout year-round.
