The Granitzhaus near Binz - history and nature information combined
The Granitzhaus near Binz on the island of Rügen combines over 300 years of history with modern nature education. The stately building from 1901 was once a forester's lodge and inn for the Princes of Putbus and stands directly opposite the famous Granitz hunting lodge. Prince Moritz Ulrich I zu Putbus had a hunting lodge built on this site as early as 1726 - four consecrated stag heads on the façade referenced its purpose at the time. Since 2004, the Granitzhaus has housed the information center for the UNESCO Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve.
Interactive exhibition on the Southeast Rügen Biosphere ReserveThe permanent exhibition in the Granitzhaus is designed to be interactive and is aimed at visitors of all ages. A special attraction is the so-called "treasure chamber", in which extraordinary natural treasures from the region are presented. An animated 3D model illustrates the post-glacial development of the landscape, the settlement history of south-east Rügen and the formation of the Baltic Sea in its present form. Entry to the exhibition is free of charge.
Location at the Granitz hunting lodge between Binz and the natural area of Rügen
The Granitzhaus is located in the middle of the charming landscape of the Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve, nestled between the Granitz beech forests and the Baltic Sea coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The combination of the historic building, the neighboring Granitz hunting lodge and the surrounding natural landscape makes a visit a worthwhile excursion destination - not only for vacation guests in Binz, but for all visitors to Rügen with an interest in the region's nature and history.

During the day, delicious home-baked cakes with fine coffee specialties are served here. In the evening, the Loev Bar offers a large selection of cocktails and exclusive spirits. However, it is best known for its live music events. Once a month, it transforms into a blues club with an original southern flair and good, handmade live music. In addition, all major sporting events such as the Champions League and Formula 1 are broadcast live, as the Loev Bar is a SKY Sportsbar! The Brasserie Loev is located right next door. The huge chandelier, which bathes the French-style restaurant with lots of wood in warm light, is very striking. You can also sit comfortably on the large terrace and watch the hustle and bustle on the main street. The "classics" are, for example, the cod fillet under an apple and sea buckthorn crust with lentil cabbage and fried herb potatoes or the original Wiener Schnitzel with cucumber salad and parsley potatoes.

The steaks are a highlight, because a Southbend grill, which grills high-quality meats at 800°C, turns the steak into a culinary experience.
