Discover Usedom Island Nature Park Information Center

The island of Usedom is one of the most bird-rich areas in Germany. A total of over 280 species have been observed, 150 of which also breed here. Eleven species of birds of prey alone regularly breed in the nature park, including the white-tailed eagle. The Usedom Island Nature Park Information Center is located next to the Usedom Town Information Office on the first floor of the Klaus-Bahlsen-Haus Usedom. This visitor center was built and furnished with great commitment and generous support from the foundation of the same name. On the premises of the former Usedom town station building, visitors are provided with information on the natural environment of the island of Usedom using modern technology. The main theme of "water", a characteristic element of the island of Usedom, runs through the entire exhibition. Themes include the beach and dunes as a habitat, life in the reeds, fen use using the example of the Thurbruch and coastal dynamics using the example of the Streckelsberg. The topic of "Nature conservation on Usedom" is also explained using specimens such as sea eagles, otters and beavers. The Usedom Island Nature Park exhibition is complemented by a 23-minute audio-slide show on Usedom Island Nature Park, which can be seen in the hall of the Klaus-Bahlsen-Haus Usedom.
