The estate has made a name for itself. A beautiful, well-kept park and a recommendable cafe in season. Besides delicious cake, there are also hearty options, e.g. soup

Hidden in the south of Rügen lies the idyllic Gut Rosengarten, a true place of tranquility away from the well-known tourist paths and good for parking for your hike. The historic park with old trees, small paths, and streams invites you to take a deep breath. From here, beautiful hikes open up through the Bodden landscape with wide views over nature.

A piece of history on the south coast of Rügen. The buildings, half-ruined, are decorated with graffiti, some of it political. Entry is prohibited, presumably for safety reasons.

This impressive, approximately 6-8 m high mound is most likely a Bronze Age burial mound. Author: Dr. Katrin Staude / Archäo Tour Rügen, archaeo-tour-ruegen.de

Very beautiful burial mound. A sign with a description or some key facts would be informative and helpful.

A unique bird paradise. In addition to plenty of ducks, geese, and egrets, you can also spot cranes. However, there were none at the end of August. 🙁

A somewhat remote birdwatching station. From the wooden tower, you have a truly excellent view of the entire Schoritzer Wiek. The scenery is exceptionally beautiful. Don't forget your binoculars for birdwatching!
