Frequently Asked Questions

Directly in the basin, steps from the main sights, at the northern tip of Usedom island where the river Peene meets the Baltic. Quay, museums and pine heath are all walkable, with no transport or detour.
Because this is where the A4 rocket, better known as the V2, was developed, the first ballistic missile in history, successfully launched in October 1942. A red brick chimney, from the test centre former power station, dominates the point and is visible long before docking.
The Historical and Technical Museum, housed in the former coal power station. The exhibition hides nothing: neither the engineering feat that opened the way to spaceflight, nor the forced labour and destruction tied to the programme. Allow at least two hours.
Yes. The U-461, a Soviet Cold War submarine, is moored at the quays as a floating exhibition. Control stations, stacked bunks, torpedo tubes; allow about an hour.
No. The passageways are narrow and the space confined: going below does not suit claustrophobic visitors or those with reduced mobility. Better to know before queueing.
The Phänomenta centre nearby offers dozens of interactive experiments handling light, sound and mechanics. Families do well there, especially on grey days.
Yes, the long sandy beaches of Karlshagen lie a few kilometres away, reachable by bike on flat, well-kept paths. Bike rentals also reach the neighbouring seaside villages.
The Kraftwerk, the submarine and a stroll by the water fill an unhurried half day. Anyone preferring sea air should take the paths heading south into the pine woods.
The site is exposed to the open-sea wind: a windbreaker makes the outing markedly more comfortable, even in summer. Walking shoes help on the sandy paths.
The euro. The museums take cards, but the village stays low-key, a few quiet streets between shore and forest: keep cash for bike rentals and kiosks.
