5 beautiful vacation homes on the island of Rügen

Rügen is the largest island in the German Baltic Sea and has been a popular vacation destination since the 19th century. Emperors and the wealthy of old came here to enjoy the fashionable seaside resorts, wide sandy beaches and unique nature. Today, the island is still popular with travelers looking for a diverse mix of relaxation, culture and nature. One of the biggest attractions are the spectacular chalk cliffs in Jasmund National Park. The chalk soil of Rügen has created impressive white cliffs here over time, which overlook the blue Baltic Sea and are the icon of the island. You will also find historical seaside resorts such as Binz and Sellin, the special structure of Prora and the impressive Baumwipfelpfad, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Rügen high among the treetops. The island is easily accessible via the Rügen Bridge from Stralsund and offers countless opportunities to explore. Centrally located is Bergen, Rügen's largest town, ideal as a base for those who want to explore the entire island. Ferries to Scandinavia and the Baltics depart from the port of Sassnitz, which also makes Rügen interesting for travelers who want to fit their visit into a round trip. On the website of Vipio you can find several special accommodations on Rügen. In this blog we show you 5 special holiday homes that are perfect for a holiday on this beautiful German island.
