Rügen

High chalk cliffs cut off from the deep blue sea, ancient beech forests and romantic, pre-war villas with lace verandas - Rügen is one of the most beautiful corners of northern Europe . Not everyone knows that this largest German island is only two hours away from the Polish border. It is worth coming here for the weekend to look for traces of a Slavic settlement that has not been conquered for hundreds of years, to see if it was really difficult to climb the famous Royal Throne and eat the famous herring roll. Or a herring in a bun.
