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 yesteryear came here to enjoy the fashionable seaside resorts, wide sandy beaches, and unique natural scenery. Today, the island remains popular with travelers seeking a diverse mix of relaxation, culture, and nature. One of the biggest attractions is the spectacular chalk cliffs in Jasmund National Park. Over time, Rügen’s chalky soil has given rise to impressive white cliffs that overlook the blue Baltic Sea and serve as the island’s iconic landmark. You’ll also find historical seaside resorts like Binz and Sellin, the unique “” structure in 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 for exploration. Centrally located is Bergen, Rügen’s largest town, which serves as an ideal base for anyone wishing to explore the entire island. Ferries depart from the port of Sassnitz to Scandinavia and the Baltic States, making Rügen an attractive destination for travelers who want to incorporate their visit into a round-trip itinerary.
