Just west of Rügen, the Baltic Sea island of Hiddensee is nothing short of stunning. Set within the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park, the island has delighted nature lovers, writers and artists for decades. Famously car-free, Hiddensee promises an appealingly tranquil escape, and a good selection of laid-back accommodation options. The best places to stay on Hiddensee are relaxed and intimate — reflective of the character of the island itself.
Each of Hiddensee’s three port villages offers an interesting starting point for visitors to the island. Pretty Neuendorf has a fishing museum and offers guided tours; you’ll see the day’s catch being brought in and can expect a real sense of timeless charm. Beachfront Vitte, on the other hand, has more bustling cafés and eateries, as well as a cinema and puppet theatre, whilst lively Kloster is known for its art galleries and craft shops.
Beyond the villages, you’ll find scenic hiking trails, offering dramatic coastal views. The 1887-built Dornbusch Lighthouse is a lovely focal point for a walk from Kloster, and the nearby woods are good for bird-spotting. Cycling and horse riding opportunities abound, too, with paths criss-crossing Hiddensee.
