Sassnitz Rugen

Sassnitz, The Beauty of Rugen

The German island of Rugen, situated behind the former Iron Curtain, was inaccessible to Western visitors until 1990. A shame, because this stunning island has so much natural beauty to offer. It boasts a wealth of culture and nature that you can explore by bike or on foot. The spectacular chalk cliffs along the coastline are a sight to behold in their own right. From the Königsstuhl, which towers 188 metres above the shoreline, you are rewarded with breathtaking views over the Baltic Sea.

Sassnitz Harbour

Sassnitz is the second largest town on the island and is often referred to as the gateway to Scandinavia. From the harbour, it is easy to hop on a ferry and head to one of the Scandinavian countries. Standing on the pier, you can watch the boats arriving and departing throughout the day. Not far from the town lies Jasmund National Park, home to the famous chalk cliffs. This protected nature reserve is a wonderful place to explore on foot.

Sassnitz Hotels

Sassnitz offers a wide range of hotels where you can relax and be fully pampered. That said, a holiday home can be an equally appealing option - giving you the freedom to set your own schedule without being tied to fixed meal times. There are also several excellent campsites on the island, so there is truly something for everyone. Compare the various providers and book your ideal holiday easily online.
