Baab bulwark & harbor

The Baabe bulwark is one of the most beautiful natural harbors in Germany and is surrounded by wide meadows that invite you to take relaxing walks. The so-called Bollwerk is located just outside the old village center of Baabe - on the Baaber Bek, the connection between Lake Sellin and Having. It all began in 1889, when the bulwark was raised on the Baaber Beek. After its completion in 1893, the first ships brought people wanting to relax to the village. These were mainly high earners who wanted to recover from the stresses and strains of working life in the dreamy fishing idyll. In summer, sailors moor in the small harbor and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere. In addition to pleasure craft, excursion boats also moor in the port of Baabe, and boat tours are offered through the romantic Bodden landscape of the Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve and to other ports on Rügen, for example to Lauterbach. In Baab harbor you will also find what is probably the smallest ferry in the world - the ferryman will personally row you to the other side of the Having across to Moritzburg Castle.
