Binz Essentials

Binz showcases the architectural and historical diversity of Rügen. The seaside resort is defined by its white 19th-century Bäderarchitektur and the 370-meter Seebrücke pier. Key landmarks include the monumental Prora complex and the pink-walled Granitz Hunting Lodge. Visitors can explore the island via the historic Rasender Roland steam train or view the futuristic shell-concrete structures of Ulrich Müther. Natural highlights include the Schmachter See lake and the prehistoric flint fields of the Feuersteinfelder.
