Through the charming countryside surrounding the ferry terminal at

Many visitors to Rügen know Schaprode only for its large parking lots, where they leave their cars to take the ferry to Hiddensee for a day trip. You can also take a scenic loop trail along the Bodden shore. Particularly charming is the path running along a flood protection dike through the Udarser Wiek Nature Reserve, whose siltation zone is part of the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park. The Schaprode region made headlines in 2018 when, on the Kirchacker parcel of land, a schoolboy equipped with a metal detector discovered a silver hoard dating back to the time of the Danish Viking King Harald Bluetooth (c. 936–987).

In Schaprode, next to the ferry dock, a gravel path begins (with a “No Through Traffic” sign) that runs along the fence of a large parking lot and across the sandy beach of Schaprode. We pass through a campground, then continue along a grassy path along the shore, enjoying the view across the Schaprode Bodden toward Hiddensee.After half an hour, a covered bench offers a good spot to take a break. Just under 10 minutes later, the path joins a wide gravel road at a small picnic area; follow it straight ahead toward Rassower Bucht. A few minutes later, in front of a solitary house, we reach a concrete track, which we follow inland—that is, to the right—(the lakeside path straight ahead to Seehof is private). We now hike through flat farmland. Ten minutes past the house, a path on the left takes us to Rassower Bay, where another bench provides a nice resting spot from which you can look across the Rassower Strom to the Bug Peninsula and, to the west of it, the Hiddensee lighthouse.The path

Profile picture of Rolf Goetz Author Rolf Goetz
Der gebürtige Schwarzwälder wandert bevorzugt auf Inseln, wo sich die Arbeit mit ein paar erholsamen Strandtagen kombinieren lässt. Neben Mallorca, Kreta und Zypern ist er auch auf Madeira, den Kanaren und anderen vom Wetter begünstigten Sonnenzielen unterwegs, im Sommer auch gerne auf Rügen und Hiddensee. Unterwegs begeistert ihn, was am Wegrand so alles blüht und wächst, angefangen von der alljährlich aufs Neue faszinierenden Mandelblüte bis hin zum tausendjährigen Olivenbaum. Außer Wanderführern sind von Rolf Goetz auch botanische Bestimmungsbücher zu der einen oder anderen seiner Lieblingsinseln erschienen. Der Autor lebt heute als freiberuflicher Reisejournalist in Berlin.
