Rügen, District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany.
Located off the Pomeranian coast in the Baltic Sea, Rügen spans 926 square kilometers with sandy beaches, lagoons, open bays, peninsulas, and headlands.
The area was first inhabited during the Stone Age, later becoming an empire of the Slavic Rani tribe until Danish conquest in 1168.
The narrow-gauge railway Rasender Roland connects the main coastal resorts of Rügen, preserving traditional steam locomotive transportation methods.
Visitors can access the island through the Hanseatic city of Stralsund via the Rügen Bridge and Causeway across the Strelasund sound.
The Jasmund National Park contains ancient beech forests and white chalk cliffs, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011.
