The city of Sassnitz – in love with life and down-to-earth
The farmers’ village Crampas and the fishermen’s village Sassnitz were at the beginning of the Sassnitz of today before they united peacefully one hundred years ago. Their different mentalities make up the charm and liveliness of the only harbour city on the island of Rügen. Sheltered by chalk quarry and forest, Sassnitz is situated terrace-like in a valley that was washed out of the cliff by the little river Steinbach. Because of its southeastern location there is still a southerly tuned holiday atmosphere in front of the bars and pubs in the harbour, when the evening is already drawing on at other places on Rügen. A stroll along the promenade with the longest mole in Europe joins together the spa-guest of today with that of the fashion spa from 1870.
Tiny flights of steps and brick walls tame the situation of the city on a slope to the sea. In Sassnitz you find one of the most beautiful old town quarters in the north. Along the main road further up there are excellent shopping possibilities. Enjoy the lightness of being when you walk over the modern footbridge from the lively main road to the city harbour. The bridge spans almost 120 metres and is a symbol for the open-mindedness of the city and a major tourist sight with sea view. With its 278 metres length it surmounts a difference in height of more than eighty metres.
From a rustic cutter, steered by sea-wolves telling many a story to passenger boats with glass verandas and upholstered comfort reaches the range of offers to go on a trip by boat. While we surrender to the elements we learn from the captain about history and nature of the island Rügen. The ship put-puts gently out of the harbour; its hurly-burly is replaced by the green of the Stubnitz forest. From Sassnitz city harbour ships go on short voyages not only to “Königsstuhl” or Kap Arkona, but
