Germanys largest island (976 square kilometres), Rügen has been one of the countrys most popular holiday destinations since the 19th century. With small fishing villages, endless white-sand beaches, soaring cliffs, upmarket resorts, several castles and the Jasmund National Park, Rügen is remarkably diverse. Though large, the island is best explored by bicycle and on foot, but can also be seen via the Racing Roland Steam Train.
