    Hiddensee is an island in Mecklenburg Vorpommern just to the west of Rügen.

    Understand

    [edit]

    It was a holiday destination for East German tourists during German Democratic Republic (GDR) times, and continues to attract tourists today.

    Hiddensee is almost 17 km long, about 250 metres wide at its narrowest point, and about 3.7 km wide at its broadest point.

    The following settlements are on the island, from north to south: Grieben, Kloster, Vitte, and Neuendorf.

    It has frequent, brisk and changeable winds and long periods of sunshine. This averages 1,850 hours per year. As a result, Hiddensee is one of the sunniest places in Germany.

    Get in

    [edit]

    By boat

    [edit]

    The island can be reached via several ship connections from Stralsund (seasonally limited), and from Schaprode on Rügen Island, operated by the Weiße Flotte "Reederei Hiddensee".

    Motorcars are not allowed on this island, meaning you can breath free of their noise, exhaust and the danger of crashes.

    Horse-drawn carts are used for passenger transport and some goods traffic. However, the most frequently used means of transportation is the bicycle.
