What an idyllic gem close to the coast with a sea view! A herd of extremely pretty sheep grazes here, and footpaths lead us right through the heathland. Dogs are allowed to go through on a leash.

November 19, 2021,Bakenberg-Dranske & zurück

I invite you to a great coastal hike from Bakenberg, the north coast of Rügen, to Dranske and back. It's especially great in storms and with sunshine. You have 2 options: the high bank path or directly on the beach and depending on the wind direction and strength you choose the way there and back ... modern sauna and a …

A lovely hike along a beautiful stretch of beach. First along the cliffs, then back (not all the way, because it's too strenuous) along the beach.

My dear Rügen friends 😉, today I'm hiking with you on the north-west coast of Rügen from Bakenberg over the Kreptitzer Heide and then along the stony coast 🌊 to Dranske. Again and again the forces of the sea are visible in fresh coastal demolitions, trees are hanging at half past seven on the demolition edge... At one point there …

Apparently, I can only do the Coastal Camp - Dranske tour in the rain!

Bike tour in the rain - hike in the rain.

On the way back, I actually wanted to walk along the beach. However, I discovered that with wind gusts of up to 75 km/h and the corresponding waves, parts of the beach disappear because they flood.

April without April weather, isn't that nice?
No hail, no snow, no storms...
Instead, blue skies and sunshine all month = simply spring!
We were traveling in the north of the island (Dranske / Lancken - Dranske / Kreptitzer Heide / Strand...),
our highlight: the Baltic Sea on the left, the rapeseed field on the right 💛🩷💙
