Usedom

Germany's oldest surviving pier, built in 1898, with its green-towered pavilion out over the Baltic. The open deck is a free leashed walk, only the pavilion restaurant is a separate call.

At 508 metres the longest pier in Germany, a broad deck of shops reaching into the Baltic. The open walkway is a fine leashed stroll with sea on both sides.

The tree-lined promenade linking Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf and Bansin past the white Bäderarchitektur villas, one of the longest on the German coast. Flat and shaded, it is the island's great leashed walk.

A 58-metre wooded cliff dune above the Baltic at Koserow, the highest point on the coast, with forest paths and clifftop views. A nature reserve, so dogs stay on the lead.

The coastal pine forest behind Bansin and Heringsdorf and the sheltered Achterwasser lagoon give flat, shaded paths, perfect for hot or windy days. Dogs on the lead to protect dunes and birdlife.

At the island's northern tip, the museum on the former Second World War V-weapons test site, a sobering place of remembrance. Dogs are not admitted indoors, but the outdoor grounds can be walked on the lead.
