Binz, Baltic Sea resort in Rügen, Germany.
Description
The resort is a seaside town on the eastern coast of Rügen island, stretching along a bay with a long sandy beach and a waterfront promenade. Development reaches from the shore to wooded hills inland, interrupted by parks and tree-lined avenues.
History
The village began as a holiday destination for bathers in 1830, after visitors from nearby cities discovered the coast. Expansion into a summer retreat followed from the 1870s onward with the construction of hotels and guesthouses.
Culture
The town belongs to the Baltic resort style, where houses with light facades, decorated wooden balconies and narrow turrets mark the streets. Many of these buildings were constructed between 1880 and 1910 and restored after 1990.
Practical
A train station offers connections to Stralsund, while a narrow-gauge railway reaches other resorts on the island. The town center lies a short walk from the beach and is manageable on foot.
Did you know?
A pier extends over 370 meters (1200 feet) into the sea and serves as a landing stage for excursion boats. At its end stands a restaurant building with a viewing platform.
