Autumn magic on Rügen: Why the island now delights holidaymakers!

Autumn on Rügen attracts many travelers to the Baltic Sea, not just summer guests. A popular destination is Binz, where Katja and Peter Adomeit from Potsdam are currently enjoying their break. The couple appreciates the short travel distances and the avoidance of stressful flights. They enjoy the fresh air, the sea and the diverse culinary options, while at the same time noticing the high number of visitors to Binz and appreciating the island's cultural offerings. The young couple Melina Koop and Mattis Wietstock also chose Rügen. They discover the idyllic surroundings by bike and have already visited the famous chalk cliffs to be enchanted by the sight of nature, reports the Ostsee-Zeitung.

The low season on Rügen shows its pleasant charm, especially in the Mönchgut region, where the small town of Sellin is a popular destination. This time encourages leisurely exploration of nature and results in cost-friendly vacation rental deals. Tourism director Kai Gardeja emphasizes that an occupancy of 80% can be expected in the low season, which underlines the trend towards a year-round destination for Rügen. A good hand in selecting holiday accommodation leads holidaymakers not only to quiet beaches, but also to comfortable apartments with amenities such as WiFi, fireplace or sauna.

Autumn activities and natural beauty

What really distinguishes autumn on Rügen are the wonderful natural spectacles. The forests shine in a colorful play of red and yellow tones, while the Baltic Sea stores the warmth of the summer. This ensures mild temperatures, which provide an ideal backdrop for activities such as kite flying or leisurely walks on the beach. Many visitors, including Johanna and Johannes Fügener from Eberswalde, enjoy the Baltic Sea even in somewhat unsettled weather and appreciate the peace and quiet that autumn brings. The couple, new parents of twins, were even motivated to visit Rügen by a voucher.

Andreas and Tobias are also on the island with their dog Arkani in search of further adventures. Rügen has established itself as a dog-friendly travel destination, where four-legged friends are allowed to run around freely on many beaches. Cafés and restaurants warmly welcome animal companions, which is very beneficial for a relaxing holiday with a dog. The less frequented fairytale forest also offers a quiet retreat for anyone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle.

Cultural highlights and popular excursion destinations

Autumn also brings with it a variety of cultural offerings. Art exhibitions and regional markets offering local crafts and specialties for sale enrich the stay for those who want to explore more than just nature. Don't forget the sporting activities, from long hikes along the high bank path between Sellin and Göhren to cycling tours through the Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve. The historic Rasende Roland, a small-gauge railway, offers picturesque journeys through the autumnal landscape and connects various Baltic Sea resorts.

In summary, autumn on Rügen is more than just a quiet off-season. The island offers a wide range of recreational opportunities, from exploring nature to cultural experiences to dog-friendly vacation options. Planned in advance or spontaneous – an autumn holiday on Rügen is definitely worth it, and many travelers appreciate the high quality and safety that is offered to them during their stay. This means that Rügen remains an attractive destination all year round that warmly welcomes every visitor.
