With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Stralsund, 25 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with HanseDom Stralsund, Ozeaneum and Gorch Fock 1. The locals are also likely to point you toward Greifswald, 35 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Eldena Abbey. (But we’re also big fans of St. Mary’s Church and St. Nikolai Cathedral.)
