Ostseebad Göhren, Baltic seaside resort in Vorpommern-Rügen District, Germany.
Ostseebad Göhren sits at the easternmost tip of Rügen Island and connects two beaches through a 270-meter reconstructed pier. The resort spreads along roughly 1.5 kilometers of coastline with many water access points and accommodations from hotels to holiday apartments.
The region was already settled in the Bronze Age, as burial mounds near the church reveal. The place later developed as a port and resort town shaped by fishing and later by tourism.
The place takes its name from an ancient Slavic settlement and shapes daily life today through its maritime traditions. Fishermen's houses and museums show how residents have lived from the sea and its resources for generations.
The place is accessible via good road connections and welcomes visitors throughout the year, though summer draws the most crowds. Sturdy footwear helps when walking paths along the sea, as they can be uneven.
Buskam, a boulder rising more than one meter high, juts from the water near the coast and is the largest of its kind in northern Germany. This natural wonder formed through glacial action and appears like nature's own sculpture.
