Hiddensee, the "Pearl of the Baltic Sea" or the "Capri of the North," has attracted crowds of nature lovers, seekers of tranquility, and artists since the 1920s. Idyllically situated off the larger island of Rügen, Hiddensee offers not only long sandy beaches, heathland, and highlands but also a variety of culturally and historically significant sites. Whether it's the Gerhart Hauptmann House in the monastery, the small island church, the lighthouse in the highlands, or the Blue Barn in Vitte, this car-free island remains a paradise for culture-interested vacationers. Walks lead to the main attractions of Hiddensee, either on foot or by bicycle – of course with necessary breaks to enjoy the hospitality of Hiddensee.
