Binz

Binz combines grand seaside-resort architecture with the calm Baltic Sea shoreline in a way that reflects its position on Rügen’s east coast. The town faces a broad sandy beach, while Schmachter See lies just inland, bringing lakeside walks close to the shore. Restored villas along the Strandpromenade and the Kurhaus recall Binz’s development as a Baltic bathing resort. Southeast of town, the wooded Granitz leads to the 19th-century Granitz Hunting Lodge, commissioned for Prince Wilhelm Malte I of Putbus. North of Binz, the immense Prora complex marks a sharply different chapter in Rügen’s 20th-century history.
