The Holy Land - Rugen

The German part of the Baltic Sea has a lot to offer. Beautiful beaches and numerous islands surrounded by wild nature attract more and more vacationers from all over Europe every year. Among the multitude of attractions that nature offers is the largest German island, Rügen, the tourist pearl of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Welcome to Rügen!

Rügen is so crowded that in order to spend your holiday there, you must remember to book places well in advance. The island is not only an area where we can fully devote ourselves to blissful relaxation on the beach - it is also an excellent base for trips to nearby health resorts. The healing properties of iodine-saturated air have long been appreciated by patients who came here to regain strength from both Germany and other countries. Rügen is separated from the mainland by the narrow Strelasund Strait. In 1936, the Rügendamm railway and road bridge was built, and since 2007, you can also get to Rügen via a three-lane viaduct intended exclusively for car traffic - a bridge called Rügenbrücke, 2,830 meters long, one of the longest in Central Europe.

Thanks to its varied coastline, interspersed with sandy beaches, cliffs, islets and countless lagoons, the island is a perfect place for a holiday in Germany . Tourists visiting Rügen enjoy the opportunity to see neighboring islands, including the beautiful Polish-German island of Usedom, with wide beaches, a long coastline and a large number of smaller and larger lakes. What distinguishes Rügen is its well-developed network of bicycle paths. Ecology in this region comes first. Kilometers of marked paths provide many hours of active recreation among the lush forests of the Świętowit region. Until the 12th century, Rügen was a place of worship of this pagan deity.

Its pier, almost 400 meters long, and numerous atmospheric restaurants and bars will allow tourists to enjoy their holidays on Rügen . About 16 km from Binz there is another charming point worth paying more attention to - Thiessow . Literally translated, its name means "the place where yew trees grow", and the town itself is a perfect place to rest after a day of exploring the island's attractions (including from the seat of a bicycle). At regularly organized festivals, visitors have the opportunity to try local specialties and learn about regional handicrafts.
