For almost 500 years, no major logging has been carried out on Vilm, leaving the forest on the island largely to itself. On 21.08.2008, many witnesses of this renaturation were visible during an explanatory guided tour.

From 1959 to 1990, the island of Vilm - located south of Rügen - was not accessible. The Council of Ministers of the GDR chose the idyllic islet and naturally wanted to vacation there largely undisturbed by the workers and peasants. Today, the bungalows are used by an environmental protection organization and are therefore also inhabited. However, on 21.08.2008, none of this was noticeable.

Evening mood on 18.05.2008 on the Baltic Sea island of Ummanz, a beautiful spot of nature off the beaten tourist paths located between Rügen and Hiddensee. A small bridge from Rügen leads onto the island, so you can easily arrive by car, park it, and simply enjoy the tranquility. I initially considered using the category Rügen-Hiddensee, but that wouldn't be entirely accurate.

On Ummanz (18.05.2008), you can wonderfully get around on foot or by bike, but there are no tourist highlights there. However, you have an abundance of nature, a fairly attractive surfing area, and in autumn and spring, a resting place for migrating cranes.
