"In the west of the island of Rügen, in the reed-lined Pomeranian Bodden Landscape National Park, nature lovers, water sports enthusiasts, culture vultures and families will find their paradise.
Hiking, cycling, fishing, horse riding or taking a trip on an old Zeesboot along the Bodden coast reveals surprising insights into picturesque villages, hidden manor houses, overgrown parks, ancient churches and picturesque avenues.... and always a view of the water.
Families and surfers in particular appreciate the shallow Bodden waters, where smaller children can swim.
Spectacular, beautiful sunsets and views of the island of Hiddensee make evening walks an unforgettable experience.
In spring and autumn, large groups of cranes migrate across the vast skies, taking up their roosts at dusk on the small neighboring island of Ummanz, watched by birdwatchers who have also travelled far and wide.
In some of the dreamy old brick churches and manor houses, such as in Altefähr, Landow, Gingst, Trent, Schaprode, Boldevitz and the island's capital Bergen, concerts are held regularly in summer, while literature lovers can meet well-known authors at readings in the Vaschvitz culture barn or in the Gingst bookshop over a glass of wine.
Every week and every year, small and large markets are held in the historic, former craftsmen's village of Gingst with arts and crafts, bric-a-brac and regional specialties.
Cozy restaurants and small garden cafés delight the heart and stomach with freshly caught fish or homemade cakes.
Beautiful things await visitors in the workshops of various artists and craftspeople, and creative people who want to take something home with them can learn soap boiling, spinning and felting, watercolor painting or making gifts from typical island herbs.
Water sports enthusiasts are also well catered for, with the opportunity to borrow canoes and surfing equipment or take a course in Schaprode and Suhrendorf on the western shore, while live music and stone-oven pizza tempt visitors in the evening. "*.
