Sassnitz is a town in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in Germany , a seaside resort on Rügen that has been famous for centuries.

Get in [ edit ]

By train [ edit ], by bus [ edit ].

There is a bus link to/from the ferry port (for Sweden). If using the regular Sassnitz - Binz bus service for the ferry, the nearest stop is in Dubnitz (after the turning to the port, at the top of the hill, if travelling from the Binz direction). It will seem quite a long way from this stop to the terminal if you are backpacking!

By ferry [ edit ]

Get around [ edit ].

Frequent buses to Binz and other Rügen towns. Beware that, on rural services, changing from one bus to another seems to be popular — the driver will announce "umsteigen (placename)".

See [ edit ]

• Old part of the town . behind the north-eastern end of the harbour. The town is on cliffs above the harbour, there are steps down near the shops, or it can be approached through the old town. Walk past the shops (the sea should be on your right) and fork right downhill. Ferries to Sweden used to leave from the harbour here, but now use the modern port near Dubnitz known as "Fährhafen Sassnitz".  
• U-boot museum ( near the disused ferry terminal ). Perhaps surprisingly, the U-boat (submarine) on display is a former British submarine, H.M.S. Otus of the "Oberon" class, which was towed to Sassnitz after having been saved from a scrapyard in Portsmouth (GB).  

Do [ edit ]

• Hike into the Jasmund National Park

Buy [ edit ]

There is a supermarket along past the shops, turn to the left if you've come down through the pedestrian street from the train/bus stations.

There is an extensive craft centre near the bus terminus in Putgarten. It is about a 2 km walk to the Kap, where there is a lighthouse museum.

Sassnitz Hafenstadt und Erholungsort mit Flair

Sassnitz liegt auf der Halbinsel Jasmund im Nordosten der Insel Rügen . Die Siedlungsgeschichte der Gegend geht auf die Bronzezeit zurück. In der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde der Ort an das Eisenbahnnetz angeschlossen, der Hafen entstand und die Schiffsverbindungen nach Stettin, Trelleborg und Memel wurden aufgenommen. Heute ist Sassnitz ein bedeutender Fährhafen ins Baltikum.

Mit dem Aufkommen des Tourismus an der Ostsee entwickelte sich auch…

Mit dem Aufkommen des Tourismus an der Ostsee entwickelte sich auch Sassnitz zu einem beliebten Badeort mit einer Strandpromenade und zahlreichen Gebäuden der markanten Bäderarchitektur. Die Gründung der Gemeinde Sassnitz erfolgte jedoch erst anfangs des 20. Jahrhunderts durch den Zusammenschluss der Fischerdörfer Crampas und Sassnitz. 1998 wurde der Stadt der Titel „Staatlich anerkannter Erholungsort“ verliehen.

Die Stadt bietet heute eine attraktive Kombination aus Hafenstadt und Erholungsort mit reizvollem Flair. Anziehungspunkt ist vor allem der Stadthafen mit der längsten Außenmole Europas und die markante Fußgänger-Hängebrücke, die den Stadthafen mit dem Stadtzentrum verbindet. Zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten von Sassnitz gehören neben der attraktiven Altstadt auch das Rathaus, das 1910 als Warmbad eröffnet wurde, sowie die Kirche St. Johannis , der Schmetterlingsgarten und der Tierpark . 

In der Altstadt laden zahlreiche Geschäfte und Boutiquen zum Bummeln und Shoppen, Cafés und Restaurants zum Verweilen und Genießen ein. Darüber hinaus bietet die Stadt ihren Gästen im Verlauf des Jahres eine Reihe von Veranstaltungen wie das Mittsommerfeuer, die Rügener Hafentage, die Sassnitz-Sail oder die Promenaden-Revue an der Strandpromenade .

Durch seine Lage ist der Ort außerdem ein idealer Ausgangspunkt, den Nationalpark Jasmund und die markante Kreideküste mit dem Königsstuhl im Nordosten der Stadt zu erkunden. Rund um Sassnitz lädt ein dichtes Reit-, Wander- und Radwegenetz zur aktiven Freizeitbetätigung ein. Durch den Ort führt der Hauptwanderweg Rügen , der entlang der Kreideküste über Glowe , die Schaabe und das Ostseebad Breege-Juliusruh bis zum Kap Arkona im Norden der Insel führt.

Sassnitz Captivates With Its Ice Age Inspired Landscape

Sassnitz just out on the Jasmund Peninsula on the Baltic Sea . While it does have a “resort” feel to the place, it really is a place of some fantastic natural beauty. That it has a submarine (HMS Otus) in the water operating as a floating museum, is an extra added bonus!

The best thing about Sassnitz is that the old fishing port town is STILL an old fishing port town. It’s got that salt air flavor and small colorful fishing boats heading out for a hard day’s work. So important is the Baltic Sea, Sassnitz also has a marina and ferry port.

Of course there’s the Old Town, where you’ll find Town Hall. And out in the Dwasiedener Forest are the ruins of Schloss Dwasieden. It’s too bad about the castle; this fantastic sandstone and marble masterpiece was leveled by the communists in 1948.

— Top Areas Of Interest

• Webcams (3)

What everyone really comes for is the Jasmund National Park and the chalk cliffs (the most famous section of the cliffs is known as the Königsstuhl , or King’s Chair). While it might be one of the smallest parks in the entire country as far as size; but, this park packs a whollop. Rare birds and plants are found within; and just after a storm is the best time to go fossil hunting.

Another type of “nature” site is the Alaris Butterfly Park where you see the little creatures flying around in a “tropical” setting. It only costs a few Euro and the kids are gonna love it.

The whole family will go crazy over all of Sassnitz’s festivals. There’s a Children’s Celebration at the Tierpark (animal park), a Midsummer’s Fire (a Swedish tradition, no less!), and the Main Street Celebration which is on the last weekend in June.

In the third weekend in July is the Sassnitz Sailing Celebration and the Rügener Port Days are the weekend beforehand. August brings on the Summer Celebration and no German town is worth its weight in (sea) salt without the obligatory Christmas Market — which in Sassnitz is on the 1st weekend of Advent on the Christian calendar (or, about 3-4 weeks before Christmas).

It won’t make a world of difference what calendar you use to plan your trip to Sassnitz, the Ice Age inspired landscape will leave you breathless and all the sites around town will leave you happy.

Navigation Route

Passengers selection, vehicle selection, navigation route inbound, guide of sassnitz.

Sassnitz is a seaside town in northern Germany; it lies just of the Baltic coast on an island called Rügen. Sassnitz has around 10,000 inhabitants, situated on Jasmund peninsula; it acts as the gateway to Jasmund National Park, an area characterized by unique white cliff formations.

A brief history of Sassnitz

Fishing has always been important to Sassnitz, and then the tourist industry began to arrive in the early 1800s, people who come to relax on the shores of the Baltic Sea during the summer. In 1871, the road to Sassnitz was upgraded, and in 1891 the town was connected to the railway network from Bergen. By 1878 boat services had been established, connecting Sassnitz with Stettin, Bornholm, Trelleborg and Klaipėda, this enabled the town to grow. The farming and fishing village of Crampas and Sassnitz were separate at one time, but it was decided to merge them to form one municipality of Sassnitz. Through the beginning of the 20th century Sassnitz's chalk, fishing and tourism industries expanded and given rights in 1957. They decided to construct a touristy beach promenade, but over the decades the town and its B&Bs fell increasingly into disrepair. In 1984 a new port was built to aid the ferry connection between East Germany and the Soviet Union. After 1991, the ferry port was redeveloped and began providing services to the entire Baltic Sea region.

Things to do in Sassnitz

The best thing to do in and around Sassnitz is walking and hiking in the Jasmund National Park. One of the best hikes is up to the Königsstuhl, or King's Chair, which is the best-known chalk cliff on the Stubbenkammer on the island of Rügen. It lies at 118 m above sea level, and there is also the Königsstuhl National Park Center which houses exhibits on Rügen's nature. There is also an observation deck that offers fantastic sea views. If you are feeling adventurous, then there are some fascinating castle ruins, abandoned factories and world war two bunkers to explore in Schloss Dwasieden, a couple of the bunkers have been left open - so you can explore with a flashlight at your own risk! There is also a path to access the beach, which is not crowded and very nice. Children and adults will also love a visit to the British Royal Navy submarine turned museum, Erlebniswelt U-Boot. Visitors can walk along the whole length of the submarine inside, or take a guided tour, and there is convenient parking nearby.

Beaches around Sassnitz

Hundestrand Glowe is nearby and is a beautiful sandy expanse, popular with dog walkers. Piratenbucht Sassnitz is close to the town centre and has rocks and sand, the water is clean, and there are plenty of establishments nearby for eating and drinking. Down the coast, a little further is Hundestrand Sellin, fully equipped with sunbeds and services. It has a beautiful little promenade and is pet-friendly.

Construction of the lighthouse began in 1897 and was designed by the renowned German architect Karl Friedrich von Trepka. The construction was built on the Dwasieden cliff, which offers an impressive view of the Baltic Sea. The lighthouse was built of red brick in neo-gothic style and reaches a height of about 39 meters.

Since its completion in 1904, the lighthouse has played an important role in navigating ships along the Rügen coast. Its powerful light source, originally a gas lamp and later converted to electric lighting, served as a landmark for seafarers and helped them avoid dangerous spots. The lighthouse is visible up to 20 nautical miles, making it an important safety feature in the region.

Over the years, the lighthouse has undergone several technological improvements. In the 1920s, an optical system was installed that allowed more powerful and precise light guidance. In the 1970s the lighthouse was automated and the on-site staff reduced. Today the lighthouse is operated by the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration and is still an important part of the maritime infrastructure.

Leading lines in photography

Leading lines are an important design element in photography that serve to direct the viewer's gaze and create a certain dynamic and depth in an image. These lines can come in a variety of shapes and directions, such as straight, diagonal, curved, or curved, and serve to guide the viewer through the image and draw focus to specific elements.

Leading lines can appear in the natural environment or in architecture. Examples of this are roads, paths, fences, railings, rivers, building edges or even shadows. By cleverly placing these lines in the image, you can create a certain visual tension and give the image a spatial dimension.

The use of leading lines can serve different purposes. On the one hand, they can serve to direct the viewer to a certain main motif or an interesting point in the picture. For example, this can be a distant building, an interesting detail, or a person. The lines lead the viewer's gaze directly to this element, making it the visual focus.

In addition, leading lines can also help to create some movement or dynamism in the image. Diagonal lines or curved lines can convey a sense of speed, direction, or flow. They can add some energy to the image and tell a visual story.

Another benefit of using leading lines is that they can add some structure and order to the image. They can divide the image into different areas or layers and provide the viewer with a clear visual guide.

When composing an image, it is important to use the leading lines consciously and to consider their effect. It can be helpful to take time to explore the area and look for lines of interest before shooting. Sometimes it also requires a change of perspective or experimenting with different angles to create the desired lines in the image.

Overall, leading lines are a powerful design element that photographers can use to make their images visually appealing and captivating. By consciously paying attention to these lines and using them skilfully, you can achieve improved composition and take the viewer on a visual journey through the picture.
