Hitler built this building in the 30s as a gigantic seaside resort for his people but it should have been more a demonstration of his power and uniformity of the German nation. Now it is a ruin. Leave a Comment

 Chalk Cliffs (Victoria's
view) by german_eagle
Many people know the chalk cliffs from Caspar David Friedrich's picture - but this scenery is gone for ever. In spring 2005 the cliffs called "Wissower Klinken" collapsed. Only small relicts remained.
Anyway, further north from the "Wissower Klinken" you find the most dramatic scenery of the chalk cliffs called "Königsstuhl". It is in the heart of the National Park and you have to pay and entrance fee of 6 Euro to walk to the cliff - a true rip-off. I admit they built a National Park centre with exhibits on Geology, History, Flora and Fauna, but what if you just want to see the cliffs? Do what we did - turn right before paying at the cash desk and walk the so called round path to Victoria's view. The views are still better since you can have a look of the Königsstuhl cliff, not only the views FROM the Königsstuhl cliff!
The views are amazing especially if you have good luck and the sun comes out ... we had for a short while. The contrast of the whilte chalk cliffs, the green woods and the blue water/sky was amazing (Please see the opening pic on my Rügen page!).
Drive to the big parking ground in Hagen (small fee) from where a shuttle bus runs every 10 minutes to the entrance of the National Park centre. There is also a public bus from Sassnitz, but it doesn't run very often. Another option is to take a boat (runs on schedule) from Binz, Sellin, Sassnitz to see the cliffs from the sea.

 Sellin (beach and
seabridge) by german_eagle
The beaches are very beautiful, but please notice that the water is usually quite cold. It rarely warms up to more than 20 Celsius, when I was there end of May it was 13/14 Celsius. Brrrrrrrrrrr!
Anyway, it is fun to lie down in the sand and relax, play some volleyball of frisbee or whatever - given the co-operating weather :-) Leave a Comment

A time of phantasies in the amazing world of submarine!
Her Majesty´s Submarine Otus of the British Oberon Class, served for 28 years in the 1st Submarine Squadron of the British Royal Navy.
The submarine was built in 1963, surved with 68 crew members in Falkland War and 1991 in Persian Gulf War.
Now the boat is in Sassnitz on Rügen. You can visit all days 10 am - 4 am (winter time) or 10 am - 7 pm, April - October.
It was an adventure to be inside, look for the technic and have the feeling to be under water. I was excited, thrilled to be there. But I can say, never I could stay only a day inside with the knowledge to be under water in true!
I shot so much pitctures that I have to put inside an extra album.
Website is also in English language with technical details and very interesting pictures about history and technical stuff of Otus. Leave a Comment
