With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Heringsdorf, 35 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Heringsdorf Pier, Bansin Beach and Ahlbeck Beach. Locals are also likely to point you toward Greifswald, 35 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Eldena Abbey. (But we’d also highly recommend St. Mary’s Church and St. Nikolai Cathedral.)
