The island of Rügen has lots of things for visitors to do and see, especially in the summer months.
Here are just 10 of ideas that we have:

The Rasender Roland in Putbus station
1. Take a ride on the Rasender Roland from Putbus to Lauterbacher Mole or Göhren.
2. Visit the Rügenpark and see Rügen in miniature – where the entrance price for children is decided by their height
3. View the island from the top of the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Tower in Bergen auf Rügen.
4. Climb aboard a yacht and sail round the cost to see the chalk cliffs.
5. Have a “Störtebeker” day – lunch at Riff, a walk along the Bodden, a ride around the bay, a cold drink in Störti’s and then an evening at the Störtebeker Festspiele in Ralswiek’s open-air theatre.
6. Take a ride on the Rodelbahn in Bergen auf Rügen – open for most of the year, this is very much more high-tech than your usual “mat on a slide” type.
7. Visit the Welt der Experimente in Putbus – a museum where children are encouraged to touch the exhibits!
8. Take a trip to the island of Hiddensee to see the beaches and see the island by horse-drawn carriage
9. Visit the Clockmaker’s Museum in Putbus
10. Try to count the dots on the northern clock face of the Marienkirche in Bergen auf Rügen
