Travel guide Ruegen
Holiday to Ruegen

The vacation resorts on Rügen offer the opportunity to stroll and stroll and impress with a wide range of cultural events.
TOP excursion destinations to Ruegen
Among the most popular landmarks of the island are the chalk cliffs. With white cliffs, green beech forests and the blue of the sea, this impressive sight has made it onto the UNESCO World Heritage List. The highest point is marked by the Königsstuhl, which rises 118 metres out of the sea.
A special attraction awaits young and old at the Rügen Natural Heritage Centre. A treetop path leads through the beech forest at a height of up to 17 metres. Nature lovers can learn a lot of interesting facts about the habitat and its inhabitants at nine educational stations. From the lookout tower Adlerhorst you have a wonderful panoramic view over Rügen and the Baltic Sea.
Visitors can also look forward to an impressive cliff face at Cape Arkona. With the Schinkelturm, the Kap Arkona beacon and the Peilturm, three picturesque lighthouses promise a magnificent view. The small fishing village of Vitt and the historic Jaromarsburg castle wall make a trip to the cape perfect.
Surrounded by old beech trees, the Granitz hunting lodge awaits its guests. The popular castle was built in the 19th century. The almost 40 metre high central tower gives the brick building its unmistakable appearance and also offers a magnificent panoramic view.
Beautiful to look at is the magnificent pier of Sellin. It reaches 394 metres out into the sea and since its reconstruction at the end of the 1990s has been inviting visitors to take a leisurely stroll in a historic setting. From here, the diving gondola takes you down into the depths of the Baltic Sea.
Rather strange is the mood in Prora. The “Colossus of Rügen”, a four and a half kilometre long structure, was once intended to serve as a KdF seaside resort. It was never completed and is now a listed building. Since 2012, modern residential complexes, cafés and restaurants have been built here.
