Frequently Asked Questions
At Lauterbach harbour, on the German Baltic, facing the calm waters of the Greifswalder Bodden. The marina also holds smoked fish restaurants and small cruise vessels, and the wooded island of Vilm lies close by.
A narrow-gauge railway serving Rügen's seaside resorts since 1895. Its station stands at the head of the pier. Wooden carriages, open windows, the smell of coal: the journey itself is the attraction.
On its 750-millimetre track, through woods and fields, it serves the princely town of Putbus, then Binz, Sellin, Baabe and Göhren, out to the big beaches of the east coast. Allow half a day round trip for Binz or Sellin.
Take the Rasender Roland to Putbus, just one stop, for the white town and its park. If time allows, continue to Binz or Sellin for the white resort architecture and the long bathing piers.
The white town, residence of Prince Wilhelm Malte of Putbus, 2 kilometres from the harbour, reachable on foot along an avenue or in one train stop. Immaculate neoclassical facades around a circular square, a colonnaded theatre and a vast landscaped park where peacocks and fallow deer roam.
A strictly protected nature reserve holding one of the oldest unmanaged beech forests in the country. It was long closed to the public: the leaders of former East Germany took their holidays there away from prying eyes.
Yes, but the boat visits leaving the marina are limited to a small number of participants per day and run as guided groups. Book as early as you can if the idea appeals: places go quickly.
The euro. The train and restaurants generally take cards, but the smoked fish counters on the quay often work in cash. Bring notes, especially for train tickets bought on board.
No, and that is the point. Rügen is Germany's great holiday island, but Lauterbach occupies its quiet side: no crowds, reeds, sailing boats, a shore where you can walk a long way without meeting many people.
The place was founded in 1816 as Rügen's first sea-bathing resort by Prince Wilhelm Malte of Putbus. The harbour that followed served the nearby princely residence; it remains the island's original doorway, that of the first bathing establishment.
