About Zinnowitz
Zinnowitz is a spa town of roughly 3,800 people on the north-west of Usedom, recognised as a spa in June 1851 and the leading bathing resort for East German union holidays. A wooden pier was built in 1908 and replaced in 1993, and a diving gondola at its end has run since 2006. The promenade was landscaped in 1993 and has an open-air stage, with hotels in the old seaside style along Neue Strandstraße. The homes sit in and around the town, within a short walk or cycle of the front. In summer the Vineta Festival is staged on the Ostseebühne, a 1,300-seat open-air theatre. When it rains, the Bernstein-Therme offers sea-water baths and a sauna.

When to go to Zinnowitz
Zinnowitz recorded about 1,900 sunshine hours a year in 1961 to 1990, enough to be called Germany's sunniest place then, so summer weather is its selling point. The Vineta Festival runs in summer. Check what is open before a winter booking, though the Bernstein-Therme gives you sea-water pools and a beach sauna indoors when the weather turns.

Zinnowitz villa holidays: questions answered
Does Zinnowitz have a pier?
Yes. A wooden pier was built in 1908 and extended in 1909, and a concrete, steel and wood replacement opened in 1993. A diving gondola at the far end has taken passengers down to the seabed since 2006.
How do you get from Berlin to Zinnowitz?
By car it is about 212 km and roughly two and a half hours. By train you change at Züssow and take a regional train to Zinnowitz, which takes around three and a half hours in total.
Is Zinnowitz sunny?
Often, by German standards. Zinnowitz recorded around 1,900 sunshine hours a year between 1961 and 1990, which made it Germany's sunniest place in that period. Usedom as a whole is nicknamed the Sunny Island.
Can you get from Zinnowitz to Peenemünde without a car?
Yes. Zinnowitz station is on a branch line to Peenemünde, run by the Usedomer Bäderbahn, so the museum site is a train ride away. The same railway also runs to Wolgast and on to Świnoujście.
Is it safe to pick up amber on the beach near Zinnowitz?
Take care. Phosphorus from dumped ammunition sometimes washes ashore on Usedom, especially near Peenemünde, and it can look like amber, is poisonous, and ignites when dry. Keep anything suspect in a container until identified.
