Western Pomerania-Rügen District
Western Pomerania-Rügen District, Rural district with Baltic Sea coastline in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany.
The district spans over 3,190 square kilometers, encompassing long stretches of beaches, lagoons, cliffs, and the largest German island of Rügen with its chalk formations.
The administrative region formed in September 2011 through the merger of former districts Nordvorpommern and Rügen, along with the inclusion of the Hanseatic city Stralsund.
The district preserves maritime traditions through its coastal settlements, fishing villages, and the UNESCO World Heritage city of Stralsund with its red brick architecture.
Transportation within the district connects through Stralsund Barth Airport, while numerous harbors facilitate maritime access to the Baltic Sea destinations.
The Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park protects diverse coastal landscapes, including the peninsulas of Fischland-Darß-Zingst with their distinctive shorelines.
