Ferienwohnung und Hotel auf Rügen: Deutschlands größte Insel entdecken
At 926 square kilometres, Rügen is Germany's largest island – and arguably its most varied. Between the chalk cliffs of Jasmund National Park, the seaside resorts of Binz, Sellin and Göhren and the quiet lagoon landscapes in the west, every type of holidaymaker finds their territory.
The island's accommodation scene is just as broad: resort-architecture villas with holiday apartments in the Baltic spa towns, thatched cottages on the Mönchgut peninsula, country hotels inland and guesthouses in harbour towns like Sassnitz. Those travelling in autumn or spring experience the island almost privately – at noticeably relaxed prices.
The classics of any Rügen holiday include the view from the Königsstuhl, a ride on the Rasender Roland steam train, Granitz Hunting Lodge and the sunset at Cape Arkona. Guests who book directly with their hosts have the shortest route to all of it: no agency commission, plus insider knowledge about beach access points, fish smokehouses and the best time to see the chalk coast.
