Rügen, Germany, in a nutshell

The most popular seaside resorts are the Schaabe beaches between Altenkirchen and Juliusruh, including Drewoldke, Glowe and Breege, and the eastern beaches between Sassnitz and Göhren, including Neu Mukran, Prora, Binz, Sellin, and Baabe.
The latter are accessible via a historic narrow gauge railway employing steam locomotives, called 'Rügensche Bäderbahn'.

Tourist destinations apart from seaside resorts are Cape Arkona, the wood covered Stubbenkammer hills on Jasmund with interesting chalk cliff formations, the wood covered Granitz hills with the Jagdschloß palace, and the inland places of Bergen auf Rügen, Ralswiek and Gingst.

The island also offers a huge variety of different beach and shore areas. Rügen is often visited by Wind- and Kitesurfers and offers more than fifteen different locations for surfing. The most popular locations are Dranske, Rosengarten, Wiek, Suhrendorf and Neu Mukran.
