Observation Tower at Naturerbe Zentrum Rügen

Highlight • Viewpoint

North of the picturesque seaside resort Binz rises in the middle of the dense coastal forest of Prora, the imposing wooden tower of the Natural Heritage Center Rügen. Just like in an eagle's nest, visitors here feel in the lookout tower of the same name, which, with a height of 40 meters, promises a magnificent view over the more than 10 kilometers long beach of Prora.
Here, the footpath spiraling over several floors spiraling in the air and surrounds first the massive trunk and then the expansive crown of a very old and 30 meters high beech. But before these impressive views open up to the visitor, this happens the large wooden amphitheater of the treetop path Rügen.

Old Forester's House, Prora

Highlight • Historical Site

The place Prora was probably only created around 1800 by the von Putbus family. The origin of the settlement, which is located a bit away from the sea in the large forests near the Jasmunder Bodden, was a forester's house in the style of historicism, which was modeled on that of the Granitz hunting lodge. It was probably built between 1864 and 1867. The first known mention of the Prora forester's house is in 1867, with seven residents. The forester's house Prora is located directly on the B 196a, from Prora towards Karow, on the left hand side on the approx. 1,900 hectare property Prora / Stedar-Pulitz. At the time, the forester of Prince zu Putbus resided here. In GDR times it was the seat of the forest administration and until 1992 it still had tenants. The last resident is said to have been the district forester of Prora. Then the forester's house began to fall into disrepair. In the spring of 2009, the German Federal Environment Foundation took over the "Old Forester's House Prora" in order to build an environmental information center on the area of the former Prora military forest on the island of Rügen, which is now the Rügen Natural Heritage Center.

October 20, 2022,Vom Baumwipfelpfad nach Binz_20.10.2022

This morning we took the number 27 bus to the treetop path. The bus stop is directly behind the hotel and the journey is free for spa card holders. Of course we also climbed the 40 meter high treetop path, which is actually quite comfortable. The incline of the 1250 meter long wooden path is given as 6% and it …

May 30, 2023,Ein Tag auf Rügen

Today we used the Deutschlandticket to take a day trip to Rügen. First we visited the treetop path. A nice experience, which you should only treat yourself to outside of the holidays. Afterwards we hiked from Prora to Binz. The KDF project of the crazy little Austrian has now been largely renovated and equipped with more or less luxurious apartments. …

Today was Prora. From my accommodation, I headed north this time. First, a short walk along the beach promenade, then off my shoes and through the sand.
I reached Prora in bright sunshine and around 20 degrees.
The quayside was the end of the road, and that's where I turned. A few steps and the colossus stood before me, renovated …

From Binz to the treetop path and back. The Bay of Binz accompanied us in the morning as a horizon behind the promenade. The Naturerbe Zentrum Rügen is great - a lot of information about nature, the forest, the animals and everything is presented very well in the media. Young people found many hands-on offers - the coolest was the …

With the weather being fine, we set off for the treetop walk. The path took us 5 km along the promenade from Binz to Prora. This is a very beautiful walk with many different views. Arriving in Prora, you are overwhelmed by the concrete buildings. There is even an unrenovated section there.
