Palmer, Location
● Garz/Rügen
Palmer Ort is the southernmost point of the island of Rügen and, at the same time, of the Zudar Peninsula, which is part of Rügen. The cape is located within the municipality of Garz/Rügen. Palmer Ort marks the transition from the Greifswald Bodden to the Strelasund. On the landward side, Palmer Ort is bordered by a small coastal protection forest. A forest trail runs through this forest—part of which is marked as a nature trail—leading to Palmer Ort. The nearest settlement is the small village of Grabow, located about 1 km to the northeast. At Palmer Ort itself, there is a narrow natural sandy beach that, due to its remote location, is rarely visited by tourists. Anglers use this stretch of beach to fish for pike. In winter, when ice drifts occur at Palmer Ort, ice jams frequently form, which can reach heights of several meters. In 1372, a ship carrying 90 pilgrims sank off Palmer Ort during a storm; the pilgrims were on their way to St. Lawrence Church in Zudar. Belief in an image of the Virgin Mary located there—which was said to perform miracles—disappeared after this disaster. During the Pomeranian Campaign of the Great Northern War, Palmer Ort became the scene of military operations.
Juliusruh Park
● Breege OT Juliusruh
Beautiful park in the village of Juliusruh. Juliusruh Park is a late Baroque park dating from around 1800. The park was laid out on dune sand by Julius von der Lancken in the last third of the so-called "Swedish period", i.e. when Rügen belonged to the Kingdom of Sweden, from 1795. The result was a circular rococo-style park with a single-storey country house, riding arena, bathing house, orange house and two pavilions. The highlight is the swan house on an island in the pond to the south-east. The lime tree seedlings came from Skåne in southern Sweden in 1795. After the estate was sold to Philip Karl Riekmann in 1803, the country house and the associated farm buildings quickly fell into disrepair and the park became overgrown. In 1835, the city of Stralsund acquired the property. Since then, the park has been used as a spa park. A granite stone is dedicated to the initiator of this park. Only part of the once magnificent park has been preserved as a spa park. Admission to the park is free. It is open all year round. Guided tours can be arranged by appointment.

Pfennigkasten - Megalithic Tomb in Stubnitz
● Lohme
The "Pfennigkasten" megalithic tomb lies hidden in the beech forests of Stubnitz. The path to it is signposted along the hiking trail from the Hagen parking lot to the Königsstuhl. The east-west-oriented, incomplete burial chamber of this large dolmen—typical of Rügen and featuring a vestibule—measures approximately 4 x 1.50 m. On one of the capstones, the remains of which are located in the immediate vicinity, approximately 20 carved cup marks were discovered.

Rügen Bridge
● Stralsund
Although the new Rügen Bridge is not a historic monument, it is a significant landmark of the Hanseatic city of Stralsund. After a three-year construction period (August 2004 to October 2007), the Rügen Bridge was opened at the end of 2007 by German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Construction costs totaled approximately 125 million euros. With a total length of 4,097 meters (2,831 meters of which is the bridge structure), the three-lane bridge connects Germany’s largest island to the mainland. It relieves traffic on the Rügendamm, which had previously been the only connection to the island. At peak times, the Rügendamm handles a daily traffic volume of 30,000 vehicles. The two pylons of the cable-stayed bridge stand 127.75 meters tall and, together with the curved shape of the span, resemble a sailing yacht. Furthermore, as Germany’s tallest cable-stayed bridge at 42 meters, it provides an ideal clearance height for international shipping traffic.

STRALSUND MUSEUM St. Catherine's Monastery
● Stralsund
CURRENTLY CLOSED DUE TO CONVERSION The first museum in the Hanseatic city of Stralsund was founded in 1858 and opened a year later as the "Provinzialmuseum für Neuvorpommern und Rügen". It is also the oldest museum in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Exhibitions on prehistory and early history, urban history, folklore and naval history are presented in three listed buildings. The most beautiful and at the same time most valuable exhibit is the gold jewelry from Hiddensee found in 1872-74. Founded in 1858, the museum is housed in the former Dominican monastery of St. Katharinen in the heart of the listed old town. Two gold treasures from the Viking Age can be admired here, of which the gold jewelry from Hiddensee is not only legendary, but also world-famous. Artistic Stralsund faience invites you to look and marvel, as do rare medieval ecclesiastical vestments. Many other highlights tell of the eventful history of the once so influential city on the Sound, of which it was said in the Middle Ages "...that it was a pearl in the crown of the Hanseatic League...". The largest and most beautiful room in the monastery is the summer hall. This magnificent hall impresses with its wonderful architectural design, which also includes a medieval vault painting. A wide variety of exhibits await visitors on the 1st floor. In addition to craft scrolls, seals and craftsmen's silver, there is above all magnificent furniture from different eras on display. Tableware made of glass and porcelain as well as household items made of copper and brass give an idea of the past splendor of bourgeois parlors. A special highlight are the astronomical and nautical instruments from the collection of Axel Graf von Löwen, who, as Governor General of Swedish Pomerania, bequeathed his unique collection, which also includes art objects of all kinds, to Stralsund in his will in 1761.

Legend Stone at Lake Hertha
● Sassnitz
The so-called “Sagenstein” is located not far from Lake Hertha. Near Lake Hertha stands the so-called “Sagenstein,” on which, according to legend, the footprints of an adult, a child, and a hare or dog are imprinted. The legend itself tells of the trial of a maiden who was to be sacrificed to the pagan gods. However, the “Sagenstein” was actually erected by an enterprising innkeeper at Königsstuhl, who presumably created this additional “attraction” in the 19th century.

Schill memorial plaque
● Stralsund
This stone commemorates Ferdinand von Schill, a Prussian officer who fought against the French occupying forces in Stralsund. On May 25, 1809, Ferdinand von Schill rode into the town of Stralsund at the head of his regiment. A few days later, the freedom fighter fell here in Fährstraße, fatally shot by a bullet. On the night of May 31, 1835, his admirers embedded this memorial plaque in the pavement at the exact spot where Schill had fallen.

Putbus Castle Church
● Putbus
The castle church in Putbus Park Until 1840, Putbus was part of the parish of Vilmnitz. In this year, the parish acquired its own parish registers and its own churchyard was consecrated. Putbus became an independent parish. Over time, the need to create a separate church building grew. Initially, the theater was to be converted into a church. However, as this plan met with resistance from the residents, the Kursalon in the park was converted into a church in 1891/92 - the upper galleries were removed and their windows moved inwards, and the open arcades to the dance hall were fitted with windows. The result was a three-aisled church. A church tower was erected in place of the northern extension, while the southern extension retained its shape. The church was consecrated on Reformation Day in 1892 and the bells rang for the first time on July 12, 1893. The castle church is impressively different from the brick churches typical of the island. It is flooded with light, with large arched windows opening onto the park. It forms an impressive ensemble with the neoclassical buildings in the park and in the adjacent streets.
Putbus Castle Park
● Putbus
Although Putbus Castle, once the stately home of the Princes of Putbus, was razed to the ground in 1962, the beautiful castle park is still a reminder of this magnificent time. Magnolias and sequoias adorn the English-style garden. The park was laid out in 1804 by the founder of the town, Wilhelm Malte I zu Putbus, originally in the French style. It was later developed in the style of an English landscape park. The classicist palace around which the park was laid out was unfortunately demolished in the 1960s. The orangery, the stables, the mausoleum, the parish church and the castle church as well as the monkey and bird house are still preserved. Then as now, Putbus is not only famous for its castle and circus, but also for its scenic surroundings. It is not surprising that even Caspar David Friedrich visited the Putbus region. He incorporated the impressions he gained into his paintings "A View of Putbus" and "Landscape with Rainbow", for example.
Pansevitz castle ruins and park
● Pansevitz
Built in the 16th century and owned by the family of Baron von Krassow ever since, the estate, originally built in the Renaissance style, was rebuilt and extended in the Neo-Renaissance style around 1860. In the 19th century, the estate came into the possession of the Princes of Inn- und Knyphausen. After the expropriation in 1945, the castle was occupied by several families. Due to inadequate maintenance, the estate became increasingly dilapidated and was used as a quarry after the last residents moved out. The beginnings of the park date back to the 17th century. The baroque garden was laid out around the castle and gradually expanded. In the 19th century, it was transformed into an English-style landscape garden covering around 40 hectares. Important elements of the park include the Wundersee lake with the island of love and the exotic tree species planted in the later 19th century, most of which are still present. v. Knyphausen family managed to reacquire significant parts of the park after reunification. Restored in 2006 and rescued from its slumber, it now shines in its former beauty. Dendrological rarities, miracle lake with love island, heart and kidney pond. The only cemetery forest (alternative burial under trees) in a public park.
Black Lake (Granitz)
● Sellin
The Black Lake on the Baltic Sea island of Rügen is part of the Sellin district and is located in the Granitz forest and nature reserve. The lake covers an area of 23 hectares and its greatest depth is 15 meters. The height of the lake level above sea level is 54.2 meters above sea level. The nutrient-poor lake belongs to a very rare type of water body, the so-called kettle lake. Intermediate moorland and raised bogs form around the edges. In part, there is oscillating blanket vegetation. Cotton grass, peat moss, cranberry, feverfew and rosemary heather can be found here. The entire lake, the existing moors at the edge and a 100-metre-wide strip of forest surrounding the lake are designated as a core zone (total reserve) of the South-East Rügen Biosphere Reserve. However, the lake is accessible to hikers and cyclists via the hiking trail leading from Binz to Sellin. You can reach the lake via a small wooden footbridge.
