Greifswalder Bodden Essentials

The Greifswalder Bodden region combines 20th-century industrial history with Baltic resort architecture. Key sites include the Peenemünde Historical Technical Museum, where the world's first large-scale rockets were developed, and the nearly five-kilometer-long Colossus of Prora. On Rügen, visitors find the ornate Sellin Pier and the 19th-century Granitz Hunting Lodge. The area also features the Naturerbe Zentrum’s treetop walk and specialized museums, such as the Soviet U-461 submarine and the Oldtimer Museum Rügen, showcasing vintage trains and automobiles.
