Today you will go on an extra trip aside of the normal route of the road. The peninsula Mönchgut features find sand beaches, cliffs, quiet fishing villages and a pine forest.

Day 5: Sellin/Binz – Region Sassnitz (approx. 19 – 47 km)
Now join back on the road of the original tour of Rügen. Your way today will show you the Granitz, with a famous hunting château and the hills look a bit like shrunken mountains.

The Jasmund National Park, where you will drive through will show you one of the most amazing views of Rügen: Chalk Cliffs, where Caspar David Friedrich painted and portrayed.
