Insel Hiddensee

Among the coastal places of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Insel Hiddensee stands out for its largely car-free island life between the Baltic Sea and the Schaproder Bodden. West of Rügen, its narrow, elongated form brings beach, dunes, heath and coastal woodland into a compact stretch of land within the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park. Vitte is the island’s central settlement, while Kloster to the north is associated with the writer Gerhart Hauptmann; his former summer residence is now a museum. The Dornbusch lighthouse rises on the island’s northern high ground, a familiar landmark above the shore. See how Insel Hiddensee belongs to the Baltic coast around Rügen by browsing webcams nearby.
