Insel Hiddensee, Car-free island in Vorpommern-Rügen District, Germany.
The 19-square-kilometer Baltic Sea island features white sandy beaches, salt marshes, pine forests, and three distinct villages: Neuendorf, Vitte, and Kloster.
Archaeological findings reveal Viking-era significance, evidenced by the discovery of the Hiddensee treasure and the establishment of a Cistercian monastery in the 13th century.
The island maintains numerous art galleries, museums, and theaters, with the Gerhart Hauptmann Museum showcasing the literary heritage of this former artists' colony.
Visitors reach the island through regular ferry services from Stralsund, with transportation limited to bicycles, horse-drawn carriages, and walking paths.
The Dornbusch Lighthouse, constructed in 1887, stands at the northern end of Hiddensee, providing views across the Baltic Sea and neighboring Rügen Island.
