A small village was built around the lighthouse to enable keepers to operate it, complete with a permanent teacher for children's education. The surrounding area is stunning and the architecture of the lighthouse is impressive.

Great views, easy climb to the top and some interesting history to read.

The lighthouse itself is very pretty and the view is fantastic. There are good parking possibilities for both bikes and cars.
The wait to get in was understandably kind of long as we visited in week 29, the most common vacation week in Sweden. However it was a tad too difficult to understand where to buy tickets, and the price was double that on the Öland tourism website. Price for an adult in July 2023 was 60 sek.

From our visit in mid-August 2020. Covid restrictions which gave a little longer waiting time, but no problem. Wonderful day and equal weather so it was just to enjoy the views. Beautiful nature with the sea fields around, but miss something to eat, which would give five stars.

Did you know that they built a (really) small village around the lighthouse so that the lighthouse keepers should be able to keep operating it? They even had a permanent living teacher here for the kids, cause in Sweden everyone has right to education. Fascinating!
The view is nice and all the pictures that you take come out stunning!
Last time we were there it was really blowing and the sea was ferocious, your really understand why a lighthouse was needed there...

Nice place. But closed saturdays. Would have been nice to be able to go up the stairs to the lighthouse.
What an experience! We drove with a little train to the mooses. We fed and petted all the mooses. Cool!
Alina Timmerman — Google review
Great experience for me and my kids. Got to sit om the roof of a wagon, pulled by a tractor through the large enclosure. They had 4 'rides' per day. Reserve tickets ahead of time.
We got to Handfeed the many moose from the roof with potato slices. Got very very close to them.
The moose were certainly 'tamed' and not 'wild' but as wild animals in captivity goes I got the impression they were well cared for, had good and suitable living conditions, and the handlers had a genuine respect and love for the big animals.
The handlers gave us good information about the animals in English, easy to understand instructions.
While we were many on the ride, the handlers were great at making sure we all got a chance to 'meet' the moose close up.
Afterwards we used one of the open campfires and tents to grill sausages, they provided the ketchup from dispensers.
A good souvenir shop was available.
Toilet and restroom conditions were the only thing lacking, with only chemical toilets available (I imagine due to the huge investment it would be at the farm to establish - so I'd rather they focus on the animal care anyway).
I suspect it isnt very handicap suitable if in wheelchair, although I did not look into it.
T. Nysted — Google review
Definitely worth the visit. Feeding and kissing a moose is unlike any experience you e encountered.

Amazing and beautiful experience. It is must visit for family, childrens do enjoy feeding Älg (Moose). There is play area and more farm animal for children to enjoy.
Special thanks to people who take care of the park. The guided tour in English with fabulous speech that has humor and information. Appreciate all the support through out safari experience.
As we know they are planning to expand the farm and park so second tour is already planned.
Thank you Virum Älgpark team. 🙏

Absolutely amazing experience. I was terrified at first, since I'm Canadian and we usually fear moose since they like to wander into roadways and cause problems. But the moose here were adorable, and real hungry for potatoes. Super friendly animals, and the staff were wonderful. Will definitely return if I'm ever back in the area.
Savana Thompson — Google review
It was amazing!
The moose come so close.
And you can touch and feed them. They are really friendly and don’t bite, if you do, what the guide says.
The guides are so good, treating the moose with respect and friendlyness.
The park is lovely, the moose can hide, if they don’t want to come. There is a lake for them as well.
The souvenir shop is lovely and they have sausages and ice.
Look at the days and safari times. It is not open every day. :-)
It was all in all a wonderful experience! And I am a critical person. ;-)
If it would be possible I would give 6 stars! :-)
Rebecca Klee — Google review
11/10 experience. As someone who doesn’t come from a place where moose are popular, the tour was something very special. I would highly recommend. Kissing a moose was fun too. The staff is very kind, the gift shop has something for everyone, and it didn’t feel super touristy.

Great place, funny introduction. Nice Moose. We where ablr to feed them, as they came very close.
Marc Baeuerle — Google review
This requires some effort to get there and get there at a fixed hour. You get on a trains of wagons pulled by a tractor. You can have a sausage before or after. On the wagon it is possible to sit on top or regularly inside, each position with advantages and disadvantages. The mooses will come to eat potatoes from your hands, then you watch the feeding time. The mooses have been accustomed to people since calves, so a bit unnatural, they are like pets for this show.

Great experience! A fantastic tour where you're allowed to get close to the King of the forest and even feed them from your hands. Very helpful staff. Can really recommend this if you'd want to do something different.
Borgholm Castle, the largest ruined castle in Northern Europe, is located just south of town. Dating back to the 17th century, it was a Baroque castle that was burnt and abandoned early in the 18th century after serving as a dyeworks. Despite being ruined, guided tours are offered along with an event program including summer concerts and children's activities at the nearby nature reserve.
This castle was a lot more entertaining than I expected. Many different views, nooks and crannies to explore. There are 3 floors currently open to the public with their own unique areas and architectural designs. There was also an art gallery in the basement /main floor but the main attraction was definitely the courtyard. Would def recommend visiting if you are in the area! If you have kids, this is an amazing place for them to roam and have fun but be aware of certain unsafe and slippery areas.
Admission to enter is a bit pricey (100kr) and they have a souvenir shop as well on the premises. You can roam around the castle from the outside for free though.
Lastly, there are two parking lots. 1st one is usually full from the entrance, but the 2nd one has a nice hidden scenic back path through the cows and pasture.

Some activities are on hold because of covid but all in all a pleasant experience.
I'll give 5 stars when the castle is reconstructed.

Enormous Castle, very big area. They have a free "adventure" for kids inside, which gives some tasks to be a soldier. If the kids pass all tasks, they can a "real" knight and defender of Slot Borgholm

The castle is a given attraction in Borgholm, there is a very pleasant walk from the Strand hotel and marina through the forest park. The cafe by the castle has nice coffee and sandwiches as well as pizza.
Thomas Wahlgren — Google review
The castle ruins are beautiful and the view is gorgeous from the second story. You have to walk carefully since the ground is uneven. You can bring your dog as long as you keep it on a leash. I was unlucky and visited the day after they'd ended their guided tours for the summer. Luckily they have an app where you can download a guided tour, listening to short snippets by different numbers in the castle. This is where I have to give fewer stars because there's a discrepancy between where the numbers are placed in real life and on the map in the app, making it very hard to find some of the spots. And they're supposed to be marked by red flags but not all of the numbers are. Eventually, after running around trying to find the numbers, I gave up.
It's still worth a visit if you enjoy old castle ruins and are in the neighborhood. If you like me prefer to have a guide I recommend you go here during high season when there are actual guided tours.
Oh, also. The toilets outside of the entry cost 10 sek to visit. (I have strong opinions about that.) If you are planning to go inside the ruins, hold it in and use the free toilets inside instead.
Helena Zeegers — Google review
My visit to Borgholm castle was truly unique in the purest sense ever. I was all alone and as such had the joy of exploring every corner and crevasse of this vast castle all in my own sweet time. And if ever there was a castle to explore! Impressive restoration and preservation made it possible to go everywhere you'd wish. See if you can find the naturally made markings on the wall: slaughtered pig hanging, hen with one foot and the infamous dog eating a sausage. They had made some fun gimmicks to take selfies on which I couldn't resist. In every sense of the word an unique experience

Kalmar Castle is a seaside palace built in the 16th century on the site of a 12th-century castle. It boasts fairy-tale-like turrets, a drawbridge, and secret passages that add to its charm. The castle has exhibitions that showcase its 800-year history, including its role as an important building in the land at one time. Visitors are free to explore the castle on their own or take part in guided tours included in their admission fee.
Great place to enjoy your weekend. The castle faces the Baltic Sea and offers a sense of tranquility to anyone who visits the area. There is a lovely restaurant inside that offers lovely treats for fika.
Ann Rava — Google review
It’s one of the best castles in south of Sweden. Good part is, they have guides included in tickets itself. The guides are hired by castle and they wear ancient clothes belonging to that time and look really pretty. Guides don’t rush and explain all the things which are right now present and which were destroyed by time. Except castle, there is not much in Kalmar city.

While the castle itself is a splendid sight with its rich history and captivating architecture, the downside is the mandatory entry fee of 100kr, even if you only intend to dine at their restaurant or browse through the store. It's disheartening that visitors are compelled to pay for entry regardless of their interests, adding an unexpected cost to what should be a simple visit. Despite this, if you're willing to overlook the entrance fee policy, the castle offers a unique and picturesque experience.

Brilliant, if you ever come to Sweden you visit Kalmar and it's castle, very well preserved castle with a fascinating history, we could do with more like this in the UK. I particularly liked the guides dressed in costume.
Andrew Bruton — Google review
Kalmar is one of the most enigmatic castles to visit. Much of the beauty is in the natural surroundings. The castle faces the Baltic sea. The water keeps it calm & dreamy. From the parking area, you first walk through a grave site that feels more like an immaculate garden with very tall trees. Even the courtyard inside the castle was vibrant & charming. Overall, every angle of this place is picturesque. It wasn't as touristy as expected. Spend a day here & enjoy the peace.
Christine Doan — Google review
It's really interesting. The staff dressed in Tudor clothes. Information panels in Swedish and English. Only half an hour to spare, so they let us in for half price. Models of the castle at different times in history.

great place where, as I thought, you can buy everything but☺️... we were looking for decent shoes (altra, la sportiva, dynafit, Salewa, Salomon, on running, Adidas terrex, or some kinda of good hiking or running shoes and its nothing. ) But a pleasant shopping center where there is a pizzeria and a cafe, a lot of shops where you will definitely spend some time.

We travelled from denmark to this outlet to see if we can get some good deals. Seeing from the name “outlets” you might think that you could get good prices. But, I was disappointed to see that prices were same as you can get elsewhere. Plus, the staff in one of the shop were a old lady who was racist and rude. While we were looking around to find a jacket, she asked security guy to follow us around to watch every move we make, as if we were the shoplifters. Not visiting here again.

You can go up to the top but I didn't go in, I didn't want to wait. They go every full hour and admission is like 3 dollars for kids and 5 for adults. There are also lots of birds and stones to photograph , some birds unique to this coast.

The tallest lighthouse in Sweden: 41,6 m, 197 steps to the top, built in 1785. You can climb up to see the interior and have great views from the top: the southern tip of Öland, cows and sheep roaming freely, long stone walls, a lot of clear space. This destination is extremely popular for birdwatching.
Current visiting fee is 50 SEK (children 20 SEK). Tickets are sold in Naturum next to the lighthouse or in the lighthouse (cash only).

It's one of our favourite places to walk in nature among the birds. We have been regular visitors to Långe Jan and the bird sanctuary for the last 1.5 years. Långe Jan is Sweden's tallest lighthouse. The view from the top is breathtaking.
The lighthouse is only open during the summer and autumn (check the exact timings on their website). They have an entrance ticket that can be bought on the spot. The entrance opens at every hour.
There's free parking and free toilets on the premises. They also have a bird museum, a small souvenir shop and a restaurant. Parking is open around the year whereas other facilities are open only during their opening time of the year.
You can walk around the premises, on marked trails in the forest, and by the sea. Be sure to look at the map so as not to walk to the prohibited areas or hunting areas. The reserve also serves as a grazing area for cows and sheep.
You can easily spot different species of birds, deers, rabbits, and seals. I recommend carrying decent binoculars to experience the surrounding beauty.
Dhyanendra Singh Rathore — Google review
The tallest lighthouse in Sweden from which you can admire variety of birds. It's also hugely popular with birdwatchers. The place itself is very peaceful with not many visitors, there were no queues (middle of August). So, if you're into nature and landscapes it's worth visiting.

The lighthouse at the south of the island with an interesting history.
Access to the lighthouse - 50SEK. Don't go in without ticket! You can buy one in Naturbutiken i Ottenby. This building is on the left side when you are walking in the direction to the Långe Jan.
This place is great to observe the birds. Check the weather before you come here, it can be really windy!

Fantastic nature reserve which is home to Sweden's tallest lighthouse - the 197 steps are worth the climb for a unique view.
Stephen Flannery — Google review
Bird watchers paradise. The southern tip of Öland is not only famous for Swedens tallest lighthouse (which you can climb to the top of) but also a bird watch research station. More or less all of the migrating birds of Sweden pass here on their way south or north. Loads of seals can be seen from the shore and there is also a very good restaurant for something to eat or drink. It is also the perfect spot for both sunrise and sunset
The Marinmuseum is a contemporary and family-friendly waterfront museum that showcases the history of the Swedish navy with an emphasis on naval vessels. The museum features exhibits such as a battle deck reconstruction, an impressive collection of figureheads, model boats, and real-life warships including HMS Vastervik and Swedens royal sloop. The highlight of the museum is its submarine exhibition which includes an underwater tunnel showcasing a wreck. There is also a restaurant serving delicious meals at reasonable prices.
Interesting muzeum presenting the history of Swedish navy in really attractive way. And totally free!
The only thing that needs imrovement is turning off light or just darkening it in the underwater section. Then, the wreck would be more visible.
Adrian Peplak — Google review
Very informative and interesting spot. A family adventure. Be there before 14.00 can be recommended as there are actions for kids that end at 15.00. The wrak tunnel was disappointing as too dirty to see anything but green water.
Andrea Hahn — Google review
Absolutely adorable place, the best maritime museum I’ve ever visited. The most interesting parts are definitely the underwater route where you can see real ship wrecks from XVIII century! And of course you can enter the real submarine! The museum would be a good place for kids too, coz there are things they can touch (which is amazing, right?!) and there’s a great playground inside.
Also consider eating at bistro downstairs: good Swedish food on budget.
The one improvement I’d suggest is the mobile app: it’d be great if audio files open automatically when you approach the next stop. Some files are a bit too long, and when you visit the museum with kids you can barely spend few minutes next to each stand.

The museum tells stories in every possible way, it’s super entertaining, interactive, and full of information that will make you understand and enjoy Swedish naval history. It’s friendly for the whole family, from children to adults. I think it’s useful to arrive early and start with the submarines, so you will have time for the rest including visiting the centre of Karlskrona for a farewell ice cream.
Juan P. Velasquez — Google review
Wonderful, wonderful place! I honestly didn't expect this museum to be so HUGE! You really need a few hours to see everything and take it all in. There's an authentic submarine that you can visit, there's also a part in the museum that allows you to go under the sea level and see an authentic shipwreck and if you're lucky, spot some sea critters (I've seen some very curious fish :D). The museum is filled with history and stories, you can experience by yourself how it is to row a huge ship or sit down and learn how to tie a different types of knots. I can't recommend it enough! It is definitely worth visiting!

This museum is a best place, not only to know about naval history but to experience the same. You can go in to a submarine.

You also can enjoy some good views around the museum.

There are camping option that must be booked in advance. Pre booking of tickets is recommended.
There are some eating options available in the park but only a few are open due to pandemic.
You can bring your own food and barbecue options are available as well.
A word of caution - not all animals show up easily, especially for small children, they may not be able to locate them.

Parking another 4.5 euros, plus a lot of other ways to get money off the visitor. Very crowded on weekends. The area is huge and has many attractions, but if it is crowded, you cannot benefit. Goats welcome you as you enter. Using a toilet the water tank had no pressure, it was smelly. The animals and their habitats are nice, but not comparable to a big city zoo. There is a Dino park as well and many workshop places. Paths at tree level are pleasant to cross and give nice views. More English panels required. Not worth it if you stay under 2 hours probably.

Huge territory. Skånes djurpark is much more than just a zoo. It is a whole experience with many many activities for both children and adults. Administration always comes up with new interesting activities so it is fun to visit the park every year. There is plenty of parking, toilets, places to grab a bite and grill your own food. Worth the money.

Perfect place for outdoor activities. You can easily keep your kids busy. We had a great day and kids were very happy. They have restricted numbers of visitors due to corona virus. I was bit worried as it was fully booked and thought it would be crowded. But it was well managed, peoples were widely spread. The staff were friendly and helpful. Thanks to park authorities for nice management. Love the place and definitely visit again.

Totally recommend. It's a zoo but it's also a giant nature reserve. The animals seem to have really good conditions and live in their natural habitat. It's an opportunity to experience spices like wolverine, bison, bear and moose. One can bring their own picnic basket or grill ,or better yet taste the food at the local restaurant,not bad at all. Make sure you download the weiq app in advance , makes ordering easier.

We stayed overnight at their wild lodge hillside accommodation with our 5yo son. A wonderful way to enjoy the park and all the animals. A perfect family adventure! Excellent service. Very kind and helpful staff. Lovely setting. Kids and family friendly. Definitely worth the visit ! The animals are very well cared for and the facilities seemed very well maintained. Big thank you to staff for making this a memorable family experience!

It was our second visit, the last time was 2021. I would love to give 5 stars, however because of the loud music from the dinosaur part, I had to take one star away.
All the other things in the park are awesome! We enjoyed every little bit, we saw almost every animal and we will be back as well! A definite recommendation to familys and couples or singles.
In 2021 we enjoyed the silence in the park and only hearing the animals around you. Especially during mating time. Now it was also paired with the sounds from the dinosaurs and it was distracting. Actually, really annoying.
We are childless, but I can imagine that it is a great experience for the kids, the dinosaurs. I just wish it would be more in the background (soundwise).

Very nice zoo with Nordic animals. Overnight stay is really recommended for the evening walk and feeding when the park is closed and silent (with animals being more visible and active). Don't expect much of for the food 🌭🍔, even though the free sodas and ice-cream makes up for some of it. Overall very positively surprised about the overall experience. Have tried similar in other zoos, and even though the animals might not be as exotic, it's still one of the best zoo experiences I've had.

Nice place to spend a day with kids and family. But ticket prices are quite high. Got to see few domestic and wild animals, along with Dinosaur land which was really exciting. We bought tickets online in advance, i think offline purchasing is bit expensive. One easily takes 3 to 4 hours to cover the whole park. There is a small beach also in the park which can be easily located with the map they provide you. Overall an average experience.

It's more like a park than a zoo. Not so many special animals.

Kivik Cider factory is a must-visit destination in Kivik, offering a comprehensive experience for visitors. The facility includes a small museum, an expansive shop with various apple-based products, and an orchard featuring labeled apple trees. Guests can indulge in cider tastings during specified hours or opt for evening tastings with snacks. Families will appreciate the educational tours and the opportunity to explore the apple trees.
Great place and great food. Worth visiting.❤️❤️❤️

It was a pleasant visit. It is very interesting to learn about this small company making apple must and cider from 4 generations.
There is a small museum about how apples juice was made in the past and how it is made nowadays.
There is also a little park with hammocks to relax.

One of the best places to visit in Kivik, if not the best. This factory produces its own apple cider and other related products. As a visitor, you can walk around the apple trees and learn about the production of the cider as well as having a tour inside a simulation of the factory. There's also a store where they sell all of their products. The place is suitable for families.

Stenshuvud's National Park is a serene sanctuary where lush deciduous forests meet pristine white-sand beaches, offering an idyllic setting for swimming, hiking, and picnicking. Situated in Osterlen, the park provides breathtaking panoramic views of the coast and surrounding landscapes. While planning is essential due to the vast area and limited amenities, visitors can enjoy leisurely walks through beautiful woodlands, take in stunning viewpoints, and relax on the sandy beach.
Beautiful place, accessible for everyone. Perfect for beach goes, nature lovers and seasoned hikers. Amazing in al seasons.
The water is cold. Like very cold, even in summer. Note that dogs are not allowed on the main beach in summer.

This is a truly stunning spot in Österlen, giving a great overview over the coast and the surroundings.
Since the entire area is vast, some planning is required to figure out what path to take and where the restrooms might be. There are no amenities close by and you should plan accordingly.
Depending on the time of year it can also get chilly and windy at the top. A windbreaker is recommended during fall.

I think one of the loveliest place in Scandinavia. The beach was quite empty for a weekend and the nature trial was refreshing. 10/10 will come back… there is ample car parking as well.
Sprawling nature reserve with miles of hiking trails, scenic lookout points, gardens & playgrounds.
Very nice place for a day in the outdoors.
Plenty of greens and walk paths of 2,3, 5 and 7 km walks.. not sure if there is one for 10 km.
It’s so nice and great walk if you want to run or walk with your family and/or dog.
Few playgrounds for kids and some wooden outdoor gym which is perfect.
There are some bbq spots and plenty of
Space if you want to just lay down in the sun.
Plenty of car park and easily accessible.
There are toilets by the entry.

The perfect spot for a day outdoors. It is nearby Lund and it is built around common premises and services, including barbecue areas, a cafe, a large playground and a series of trail paths. Everything is really well kept and the signs are clear. We enjoyed a nice stroll and headed to the small lake that belongs to the reserve. Despite the many people it did not feel loud or overcrowded. The daily special at the restaurant was really good!

Skrylle is a park rather than natural woodlands, and it's very crowded at werkends and during the holidays. More like a city park than a nature experience. There are various trails and changing rooms andinformation boards and a nice little restaurant. However, the restaurant is often extremely busy too. So if you're looking for a decent meal and a nice walk among other people this is a lovely place, if you're hoping to experience a bit of Scandinavia's wildlife then you'd better look elsewhere. But yes, it's quite nice!

Nice zoo in a pleasant countryside surrounding. Not too many animals, but still enough to get kids up to 9-10 years old entertained. Nice addition to the park is a pool area, which is open during the summer, and included in the ticket price. Entrance fee is a bit on a high side of acceptable.
Michael Shmulevich — Google review
A nice zoo located in a nice part of Skane. A few dozen large animals as well as a tiny terrarium. Not too many predators. Servals and alligators being the main ones.
Going around the whole park won’t take you more than an hour, even if you spend a few minutes in each location.
While you’ll see most animals from distance, there are petting opportunities. Goats, mini pigs and even emus if you’re lucky.
Overall a nice place to spend an hour or so with kids.

Very nice zoo, perfect for toddler (below 5) because it is not super big size zoo yet its enough for them to see zebra, monkey, sheep, cow, pig, chicken (basic animals). Riding a pony its a plus too! It cost 30sek (cash)/round. There’s also some playground, and cafe.
Our complaint is only that the outdoor cafe area flooring is made from small stones which was quite irritated because not only its hard to push our stroller. The small kids are busy playing the stones (playing also meaning throwing the stones everywhere). Photo cafe area: with a small cart
Ales stenar is a fascinating and secluded attraction in Skane, Sweden. It consists of a 1400-year-old ship-shaped monument constructed from 59 large stones perched on a hill by the sea. This impressive setting is Sweden's largest stone-ship formation and can be reached via bus from Ystad or by foot after visiting Valleberga kyrka. Guided tours are available through Ystad's tourist office.
Truly a sight to see. Monuments are very unique and thought provoking. The scenery over the cliffs are amazing. During off season do not expect any food or facilities open near by.

Last but not least is the IceCream 🍧🍦 and walk.

Sweden's Stonehenge? Who knows? Check out dozens of people paragliding or hand gliding by the cliffs. Watch where you walk as cows graze here. Hang out overlooking the ocean, but not too close to the edge. Be prepared to climb a little bit in between cow pens.

Has to be on the wishlist for everyone who loves nature and landscape. Walking to the cliff its really windy but worth to see it. Hiking up there is not hard, because of that it can be a good short trip for children

It is a place full of beauty. Nature and knowledge together. I was thinking about that population that bring the rocks. They created a calendar. I imagine the difficulty because it would be hard even today. Visit ales stenar is be part of science and humans history. Read about before. Reserve time to enjoy the view. During summer you can buy lunch before go up, in winter time almost every restaurant is closed. If you visit in the cold season bring water/coffee and small snack.

In January month, I decided to spend the weekend leading up to my birthday at Ales Stenar, a couple of cold winter days with snow and freezing winds that turned out to be an exceptional experience for me and my son of six years old.
The day we went uphill to see these ancient monoliths, we were blessed with a fantastic sunny weather, so we also explored the surrounding area that offered an array of stunning vistas and easy walking paths.
I definitely recommend a visit to this site because it makes you wonder and admire the mysteries and incredible achievements of ancient civilisations on this part of the Planet.

A well maintained ancient 'monument'
Quite popular so some might like to get there early
It's all open and free, children enjoy climbing on the stones. All to the backdrop of lovely sea views to one side and rolling hills on the other sides.
Well worth a visit. Inexpensive friendly 2hr bus service.
Local village has all the services of a clean well run harbour holiday hotspot.
And the unisex toilets ther are an exemplar.
Smygehuk, located in Skåne, Sweden, is a picturesque fishing village and harbor known for being the southernmost point of both Sweden and the entire Scandinavian Peninsula. The area features the iconic Smygehuk Lighthouse and Smygehuk Hostel to the west of the harbor. A notable landmark is a statue of a nude woman situated in the harbor. Visitors can experience the charm of this fishing village while taking in panoramic views from Smygehuk Lighthouse.
Cape Arkona is a picturesque promontory featuring two lighthouses, a bunker, and stunning 45-meter-high cliffs. Situated near Jasmund National Park, this protected area includes a charming fisherman's village where visitors can savor fresh fish sandwiches along the rocky shore. The site offers breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding villages, making it an ideal destination for leisurely walks and exploration.
Beautiful view!! I also climbed the lighthouse and the sea can be seen in all its splendor!! The ascent is done on foot or optionally by train or horse-drawn cart.

They say this is on the top of the list you must see in Rugen island. I wouldn't recomend the same. Esppecially when you're short in time. Nature around is beautiful no doubt. But you can't see much of it because of really dense and high bushes and trees which is only lovely when the sun is really hot. Otherwice it's not a lovely walk since you can see nothing through them. Wavy fields around makes an impression. You can find them anywhere in Germany and you don't have to go here. Three lighthouses in one place you don't find often. You can't beat this if you're lighthouse fan, but if you're not you'd say I've seen more impressive ones. The view to the rocky shore is only nice when you climb to the top of of two lighthouses which are not too tall. Otherwice you can see only bushes and a dusty path ;) Small fisherman tawn Vitt is lovely. It's approx. 1.5 km from the lighthouses. But also if you're short in time you'll find a lot of old houses with straw roofs aroud the whole Rugen. Sure if you have plenty of time you can take long walks down the rocks on the sea shore, but the climbs won't be easy. If I had to choose one of two most desirable places must see in Rugen I would definetly go for Jasmund national park. It's my personal opinion. Have a great time in Rugen!

In general this is a tourist scam trap. You have to park your car on a 7 eur flat fee parking area and walk among restaurants, souvenir shops. The lighthouses are average at best.

It is amazingly beautiful! Very calm and a nice area to take a walk with the hole family.
The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is the prices! It is pretty expensive to visit the lighthouses and of course to use the bathroom! We had to pay 4 euros for parking the car and almost 6 euros for using the facilities!
Fen Brint — Google review
You park in a paid (pricey) parking lot, further away from the cape as cars are not allowed beyond a point.
You then either walk for 20-30 mins to the lighthouse towers, where you can go to the top for another 3 euros or so.
If you don’t go on the towers you don’t get any sort of decent view.
Instead of walking to and from the towers you can pay 2.5 euros (one way) and get a small shuttle “train”. The shuttle smells extremely bad and is definitely not faster than walking from or to the parking lot.
Königsstuhl, a popular tourist destination located in Jasmund National Park, boasts of a prominent chalk cliff that stands tall at 118 meters. The area features a plateau that provides breathtaking views of the surroundings. This mountain peak is well-known for its spectacular scenery and serves as an ideal location for nature lovers to explore. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of the region from various vantage points while taking in the picturesque landscape that stretches far and wide.
My husband and I drove to the parking lot and joined the bus to the Königstuhl. We went there in August and it was quite crowded but it was worthwhile. There were many families with kids and the kids seem to be very interested. The presentation about the coast of Rügen was quite interesting. I took photos of some of the presentations.

Nice but not worthed the money. I recommend to skip this main attraction, don't pay and go towards Victoria view or by the beach path towards Saasnitz. You will get better views and for free :)
We didn't visit center with exhibition as waiting time is 20-40min and we had a dog - dogs are not permitted. So it would extend out visit by few hours to exchange and stay with dog + wait to enter, we rather took a hike. When paying fee at the entrance, you are not informed about this atraction limitation.

It's too much..the entry fee is 12 euro for adult and it's not acceptable. There is only a bridge human made and everything else natural.I was shocked to hear the price. I thought it's free if else I won't be there. The place is not much worth of 12 euro.They also chage 9 euro for busticket as well because they won't allow private vehicle.Basti hills in Dresden is 150% far better than this and they only charge 2 euro.

The viewing point is good. But there are better views when you walk through the national park. If you are with children or older people who do not want to do the long trek, then it makes sense to pay for the one point, see the Baltic Sea and leave. But I would recommend the national park because the views are better and different at each vantage point. The museum is really cool for children and adults if you have a long day and need to spare 2 hours. The cafe is nice. They also have a cinema which was close when we went. You pay 10 euros per person which is okay. But not worth the money.
Saloni Verma — Google review
Not worth paying for the admission, view from Victoria viewing point (for free) is just as gorgeous.
There is a paid parking on the big “main” parking lot (6€ day) or a cheaper paid alternative not far from the main parking lot. There is a shuttle bus service from the main parking to the admission center (price around 10-12€ return ticket).
The hike from parking to the admission center is 2.5-3km, easy wide trail.

Overpriced. Disappointing. €40 for two adults + two teenagers for a view of chalk cliffs. Suppose if you had kids the playground might appeal. Nice viewpoints elsewhere for free if you fancy a tramp through the forest and know where. Nice walk through the woods to get there or pay even more to get the bus!

Seebrücke in Sellin, Rugen is a breathtaking and picturesque spot that captivates visitors with its scenic beauty. It's considered one of the best-maintained beach locations on the Baltic coast, offering a charming and clean environment for relaxation. The area boasts beautiful buildings and a newly constructed wooden swing, adding to its allure as an amazing vacation spot. Accessible via public transport, it's recommended to spend at least half a day here to fully appreciate its beauty.
This is one of the prettiest Seebrücke in Rügen. Sellin is full of beautiful buildings and we would love to go back to Rügen and base ourselves in Sellin.

Unfortunatelly, we couldn't go out from the car, because entire city is blocked for free parking and all parkings and streets with allowed parking - are equiped with an old-style parking machines which accept only cash coins. In entire so-called 'tourist city' it's impossible to pay for a parking with credit card. So yes, we lost probably nice on-land and underwater view, but local business lost quite some money that four people were ready to spend there. Looks like non-German tourists are generally not welcomed anywhere, at least in former DDR we're visiting this time...

The Granitz Hunting Castle is a museum that resembles a 19th-century castle with five towers, grand rooms, and a 144m-high viewing platform. The area surrounding the castle offers beautiful walking paths alongside attractions such as an oak tree, playgrounds, museums, and restaurants to satisfy hunger pangs. Visitors can also enjoy spotting an old train powered by steam engine.
Beautiful, very clean, interesting exhibition and very friendly staff

I love this castle. Great interactive explanations for children. A lot of interactive features, for example the animation of the travel journal that makes you feel like you’re traveling to Egypt as well. The architecture is exquisite but sadly the hunting trophies 🏆 were stolen.

Very nice castle. If you want to challenge yourself, you can walk up the hill to the castle for a bit of exercise. Option, you can take a city tour from the downtown of Binz near the beach and travel to the castle by the little tourist train.

A beautiful and interesting hunting castle in the forest. It has a high tower, where you can get a nice view to see the surrounding.

The area around this castle ist beautiful to walk through. There you have the castle, a big oak, playground, museum and of course some restaurant to prevent getting hungry. It’s a really clean and tidy place and from my point of view a must seen attraction. I’ve you’re lucky enough to spot the old train power by steam engine, this could be your highlight.
To avoid walking to the castle on you own you can also use this kind of hop-on-hop-off sight seeing train. Or if your the more sportive guy, then take the bike. It’s fun to ride there.

Very nice place for hiking. The fort is surrounded by the forest, and many hiking paths around it. It is nice to combine your trip with the historical Steam train ride. When we visited this place, main tower was not open for visitors. And paying ticket price of 4 EUR is not worth for the only museum. It would have been nice to look at the forest from the top of the tower.

This place can be reached easily by walk from Binz LB. There is also a bus connection 28 from Binz to Jagdschloss. You may also use PRE to reach there.
However, I'm little disappointed because after visiting the Naturezentrum in Prora my expectation was higher. However if you have ample time in Binz , you may spend half a day enjoying the walk or view from PRE.

Castle itself is really beautiful and interesting, outside and inside.
However, the quality of the road from parking to the castle is a nightmare if you're going with a child in a stroller.
The road is made of stones and is not suitable to anything but horses.
Please use any other option to get to the castle if you're going with a child in a stroller.
OZEANEUM Stralsund GmbH is a modern marine museum located in Stralsund, focusing on the Baltic and North Seas. It was voted European Museum of the Year in 2010 and attracts over half a million visitors annually. The interactive exhibition offers educational experiences suitable for children, featuring display boards, models, and live fish in various aquariums. The aquarium also provides scenic views of the Old Town and St. Nicholas Church from its location on the harbor.
A large and very spacious beautiful building located nicely by the waterfront.
The place shows the beautiful world under water with both live and stuffed animals and how we explore the sea. It is certainly educational visit for both adults and children.

Have to say this happens to be one of the best aquariums I have been to in Germany. The focus is really on seas, the Balkan and the north sea. The exhibits are really nice. The staff were welcoming and nice. My son really enjoyed his time there. They have a little playground where parents can take a breather.
We travelled from Berlin, you could take the RE3 to Stralsund or an ICE and then take Line 6 to the Ozeaneum from the bus station just in front of the intercity hotel.

A wonderful and informative place to enjoy the flora and fauna of the Baltic and north sea. It's easy to spend a couple of hours here. The price for a ticket is quite hight but worth every cent. I recommend every visitor in Stralsund to visit this stunning and awesome place.

As with all previous visits to this museum, we had many exciting impressions and were able to spend a balanced day with children's activities and informative exhibits. The museum clearly shows the impact that society and tourism have on the oceans. Particularly impressive is the final hall with the giants of the sea in with very dramatic and imposing representations.

Visited on a weekday, so wasn't much crowded, as such bought entry tickets (bit costly at €17) at the counter using 💳. Then inside the museum, saw models, preserved exhibits of sea life and experienced live fish 🐠🐟 🐡and marine life 🦐🦀🐙swimming in small to big aquariums- from Baltic sea & Nord sea. Labels on exhibits are in both English and German but most descriptions are in German only. Can spend about 3 hours inside. Don't miss the small Penguins 🐧🐧 outside near the kids play area. Finally, lay down and relax to view life size models of whales, while documentary audio plays in German. At the end, can watch videos on Green Peace org. in a mini theater 📽️ and optionally donate 💵 for the cause at exit. Overall good experience for kids and adults ✅
Note: no food counters inside, so better to carry some water and snacks.

The Ocean museum is one of a kind. Must visit during your Stralsund visit. It has all the information about ocean life in German as well as in English. The aquarium is great and has lots of variety of sea life . The jelly fish, Star fish and penguins are the main attraction. It has a small cinema hall which shows small documentaries in English and German alternatively. For an adult ticket price is 17 euro for kids 12 euro.

The visit in Ozeaneum was really worthy. You can see there a lot of different tanks with fishes, crustaceans and other animals that live in different parts of North, Wadden and Baltic sea, but if you want to see colorful fishes from coral reefs this is not the place for you. There is also a big exhibition about the animals, expeditions and sea pollution. Not all of the descriptions were translated in English. Also a movie and the final presentation, which you watch on deckchairs are only in German. At the exit there are Greenpeace activists. Ozeaneum mission is to expand avarness about the sea pollution, so if you would like to learn more about that you should definitely go there. The cherry on top of the cake were the humboldt penguins that were on top... on the terrace :) definitely don't miss them. The parking there is paid, but we found free of charge places about 1 km from Ozeaneum.
The German Oceanographic Museum, located in a former monastery in Stralsund, offers an extensive exploration of marine science and maritime history. The museum features a diverse range of species and artifacts, including intricate ship models and interactive exhibits. Visitors can also explore the aquarium in the basement, which showcases a variety of marine life. This hidden gem provides an enriching experience for both adults and children, making it a must-visit attraction for those interested in the mysterious waters of the Baltic Sea.
The entire museum is in an old church. This probably the best use of a church that I have ever seen. There are a large amount of exhibits and just when you think it's over they have an impressive exibit of aquariums in the basement. I suggest this highly the price is extremely reasonable for the amount of things to see.

Highly recommend to those traveling to Stralsund!

Deze is goed te combineren met het Ozeaneum. De eerste paar verdiepingen zijn vooral museum. Het heeft echter hetzelfde onderwerp als het Ozeaneum, maar heeft minder impact. Wel is er hier veel meer gedacht aan kinderen. Als je echter door de eerste verdiepingen heen bent kom je in de kelder bij het aquarium en deze is erg mooi. Een combi ticket voor deze musea kost 23 euro.

This can be easily combined with the Ozeaneum. The first few floors are mainly a museum. However, it has the same subject as the Ozeaneum, but has less impact. However, much more thought has been given to children here. However, once you get through the first floors you enter the basement near the aquarium and it is very beautiful. A combination ticket for these museums costs 23 euros.

Great place for children and grown ups! The best part is in the basement. First you go through the ground floor, then 2nd, 3rd, and from there to the aquarium part downstairs. Plan your time such that you have sufficient time for the last part! Also bring some snacks, e.g., sandwiches and drinks. You cannot buy any food here.

We came at 15:30 and we saw the sign saying that the cash-desk closes at 16 - so we stand in the line waiting for our turn. After about 2 min. some older lady came and headed straight to us. She said sth I couldn't understand so I asked her if se speaks English. She raised her hands and started to shout: "No! Close! No!". Basically we understood we are not allowed inside. I don't know why. All the others were let in. Maybe there were too many people inside? I have no idea since noone explained anything to us. It looked very, very rude. I work in tourism and it's weird to me that the museum employee shouts at tourists and doesn't even speak English.

Wild nature where you can see Wild Boar, Deer and much more depending on location. Stay on path and what you bring in, take with you back. Don't leave rubbish.
In some locations is free parking by the road so don't park where you want to, just where is it marked for parking.

Thr park is beautiful. It's definitely worth going to. We checked out the beach a bit, a few World War 2 bunkers and the bisons sanctuary. While the majority of animals are free to roam the ones you can visit have tight quarters. I understand why they did this, but to be honest I felt bad for the animals. The entrance in the natural park is free but to go visit the animals it's 7sz.

Historic ruins of an iconic medieval monastery, circa 1199, in a serene park atmosphere.
One of the famous places Caspar David Friedrich was painting. Certainly a must see for all lovers of romantic historic sites. But the city of Greifswald could and should do way more to improve the surroundings of this superb site, like taking care of the park, offering a visitor centre, cutting trees and bushes to allow better views of the ruins...

Eldena Abbey (German: Kloster Eldena), originally Hilda Abbey (German: Kloster Hilda) is a former Cistercian monastery near the present town of Greifswald in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. Only ruins survive, which are well known as a frequent subject of Caspar David Friedrich's paintings, including the famous Abtei im Eichwald ("Abbey in the Oak Forest").
In the 12th century the Baltic coast south of the island of Rügen belonged to the Rani principality of Rügen, which in its turn was subject to the Danes. The Danish Cistercian monastery, Esrum Abbey, was thus able to found a daughter house in the area, Dargun Abbey, at Dargun, west of Demmin, in 1172. When in 1198 this monastery was destroyed in fighting between Denmark and Brandenburg, Jaromar I, Prince of the Rani, whose wife was of the Danish royal house, offered to re-settle the monks at a new site at the mouth of the River Ryck, close to the boundary between the territory of the Princes of Rügen, and the County of Gützkow, since the early 1120s subordinate to the Duchy of Pomerania.
The offer of the site, which included profitable salt pans,was accepted, and in 1199 Hilda Abbey, now Eldena Abbey, was founded, and confirmed by Pope Innocent III in 1204.
The monastery became wealthy from the salt trade and was very influential in the Christianisation of Western Pomerania.
It also brought about the foundation at the beginning of the 13th century of the town of Greifswald, which started out as the monastery's trading settlement opposite the salt pans, near the point where the via regia, an important trade route, crossed the river.
The east end of the abbey church was built in about 1200, while the conventual buildings date from the mid-13th and 14th centuries, all in Brick Gothic. The final stages of construction were the west front and the nave of the church, which were completed in the 15th century.
The museum is well laid out and presented.
Clear explanations, pictures & graphics on:
- the formation, duration and liberation of the camp.
- every aspect of life within the camp.
Entrance is free.
Well worth the visit.
Highly recommended.

Need to decide between seeing Sachsenhausen and Ravensbrück best go here. The female inmates witness stories and the building infrastructure left standing give a much deeper impression of all the horrors and inhumanities of concentration camp life in the period.
CCTV Cayak Crime TV — Google review
78 years go, after several months imprisoned in Ravensbrück, my grand-mother was delivered by the Red Army in April 1945. As a member of the French Resistance, she was denounced and deported to this concentration camp.
In January 1939, Himmler let build up the Ravensbrück concentration camp in Brandenburg, North of Berlin, the only camp for women. The first inmates - German and Austrian women - arrived in May 1939. Some 130,000 prisoners, mostly women but also men and children, were imprisoned in Ravensbrück.
In six years, Ravensbrück was transformed into a vast concentration camp complex, surrounded by satellites (kommandos) serving the German industry.
The inmates were forced to work more than twelve hours a day, punctuated by dawn and evening calls, to develop and maintain the site; they served as slave labor in the sewing workshops and electrical assembly industries such as Siemens and Halske, as well as in the arms industries such as Heinkel, BMW, Mercedes and Skoda.
Some were subjected to the medical experiments of Dr. Karl Gebhardt. Polish girls, nicknamed "rabbits" and political prisoners NN, Nacht und Nebel. They were subjected to sterilization experiments, muscle and bone transplants...
After such a "nerve-wracking experience", my grand-mother passed her grand-children the following message:
"There is no foreigner on this planet 🌍.
☮️ Peace can not be kept by force. Everyone shall contribute to achieve it by understanding"
What a heritage from such a woman 👩 who survived this part of History.

Quite an impressive statue. Driving on the S3 we saw this statue from afar. We decided to stop and check it out.

Very good sight of the statue even from the highway and if you take a 5min detour you can go up the hill and look at it more closely. When you arrive at the statue there is free parking and then there's a quick path that leads you to right to the statue. The statue is 36m tall so it is pretty big 😀. Overall if you are riding on the highway close to the statue it's a must see

Jesus statue is in some way impressive it is the biggest statue in the world beating the size of Jesus in Rio de Janeiro. However it won also the competition of Makabryla for the most unsuitable and unmatched sculpture with the region/environment.
The statue is not close to any of big cities, means if you want to go better plan your trip. Following the road S3 close to Swiebodzin you can see (from far) small Jesus. Surprise is that it is not founded by tax of poles but it is collection of donations from local people and investors.
I’m assuming that for religious people it will be nice place to see.

Impressive. The figure of Christ is installed on the 16 meter long embankment. The monument itself has a size of 36 m, of which 3.5 m with a crown on the head. The weight of the mesh concrete construction is 15 tons and the distance between the ends of the arms is 24 meters. The height of the structure, including the embankment, is 52.5 meters and its weight is estimated at 440 tons. The initiator of the construction of the monument was the pastor of Swiebodzin and in 2010 the monument was consecrated by Bishop Stefan Regmunt.

As much as it was a great idea, surroundings are cheesey and cheap looking. There is no access for disabled people to get to the statue. They have to stay by the little parking at the feet of the statue or they may(!) be able to get to few stations of the Cross (if that) that are built around. Even a person on crutches won't be able to get up there, or even elderly with walking difficulty. You need to climb steep metal steps to be able to get to the higher landing by the statue. I'm not disabled, but it shocked me that place like this was not designed with some common sense. As a Catholic, I'm ashamed. I'm sorry but I did not feel like I expected to. I have to admit that the road leading to the statue is very nice and beautifully landscaped. But that is all. The rest of the surroundings are not cared for.
