Get directions from

Hiddensee is an island west of Ruegen. Only accessable by boat. No cars on the island. Take a boat from Stralsund or from Schaprode. From Stralsund, head for 'Insel Ruegen' stay on the mainroad once you crossed the bridge. Take a left in Samtens, heading for Gingst. Follow the signs to Schaprode. Take a boat/ferry in the harbour.

Rules:

None

Watch out for the wave breakers. On a nice SW wind you can do a trip to Hiddensee, starting from Suhrendorf on Ruegen. Ride to the small harbour of Neuendorf. Then carry your gear for about 500m through a forest and enjoy fun waves.

Good nightlife in Stralsund.
