Attractions in and around Sellin
Sellin auf Rügen: Seebrücke, Wilhelmstraße und Unterkünfte mit Stil
The Sellin pier is Rügen's most photographed motif – illuminated at night it seems to belong to another era. Right behind it rises the high shoreline cliff with its famous staircase, and at the top begins Wilhelmstraße, whose restored resort villas rank among the island's finest addresses today.
Sellin is a place to stay in style: houses like the Strandhotel Lindequist and the Villa Subklew carry on the resort-architecture tradition, while the Villa Elisabeth stands for the family-run variant. Those needing space for the whole family rent an apartment – the choice of private hosts runs from the Appartmenthaus Hanseatic to the Ferienwohnung Ostseeland.
From Sellin, Granitz Hunting Lodge and the Mönchgut peninsula with its traditional sailing barges are quickly reached; the Rasender Roland steam train stops in the middle of the village. Book directly with the landlord and you pay no portal commission – and learn at what hour the pier is at its emptiest.
