Connected to the mainland by the Rügendamm and the Strelasund Bridge, the island spans 926 km² and offers breathtaking diversity – from steep chalk cliffs and idyllic beaches to expansive forests and picturesque villages.

The Baltic Sea resorts of Binz, Sellin, and Göhren, with their elegant Belle Époque villas, are perfect for strolling and relaxation. The fine sandy beaches of Baabe, Göhren, and Thiessow are ideal for swimming and sunbathing. For those seeking peace and seclusion, the island’s quaint fishing villages and idyllic bays provide the perfect private retreat.
