RUEGEN ISLAND IN THE SUMMERTIME
|
Germany
may not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of a
seaside holiday destination, but that's exactly what I discovered during
my recent visit to Ruegen Island. Located in the state of
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Ruegen Island is Germany's largest island
and it draws holidayers for a lot more than just its beaches. During my
visit, I got to hike along chalky cliffs, watch live outdoor theatre,
ride in some unique modes of transportation, and drive the island's
'tree tunnels' - beautiful stretches of road covered in a thick foliage
of trees.

When
it comes to natural wonders, Ruegen Island does not disappoint. Located
on the northeastern tip of the island, you'll find Jasmund National
Park, a place where the white chalk coastline tries to play tricks with
your eyes. Can it be? Is it real?

If
you've ever visited the Cliffs of Dover in England, or MΓΈns Klint in
Denmark, then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. These white
chalk cliffs rise up along the coastline and make for one of the most
beautiful sights you'll ever witness. As it turns out, England and
Denmark aren't the only places where you can see this marvel - Germany's
Ruegen Island has just as spectacular a coastline.
