# Two nights in Stralsund and Rügen from Berlin: a Hanseatic city, the Ozeaneum and chalk cliffs Three hours by train from Berlin: one day in Stralsund's Hanseatic old town and the Ozeaneum, and another on Rügen, walking along the chalk cliffs to the Königsstuhl.

You sleep in Stralsund's old town, a Hanseatic city of Gothic brick, and from there you cross by train to Rügen to walk along the edge of the chalk cliffs to the Königsstuhl. ## How do you get there? By direct train from Berlin to Stralsund Hauptbahnhof, about three hours; from there, 15 minutes on foot to the old town. You cross to Rügen by regional train to Sassnitz, and from Sassnitz bus 23 climbs to the Königsstuhl. By car it is about 260 km on the A11 and the A20, around three hours; you go up to the Königsstuhl by shuttle from the Hagen car park. ## What do you pay for and what is free?

Open Tuesday to Saturday. ### Saturday · 9:00 · Train to Sassnitz Regional train from Stralsund to Sassnitz, on Rügen. Cross the village northwards and enter the national park. ### Saturday · 10:00 · Cliff trail About 8 km through beech forest along the edge of the chalk cliffs, with viewpoints over the sea. About three hours. ### Saturday · 13:30 · The Königsstuhl and the Skywalk The walkway over the cliff and the national park exhibition. Eat at the centre's bistro, with fish from Sassnitz. ### Saturday · 16:00 · Boat to the cliffs Go down on bus 23 to Sassnitz and, if there is a departure, see the cliffs from the sea with Adler-Schiffe. Train back to Stralsund. ### Sunday · 9:30 · Stralsund old town The Alter Markt, the town hall and St Nicholas', St Mary's and the streets that run down to the harbour. ### Sunday · 11:30 · Ozeaneum and Gorch Fock Three hours in the sea museum and, from April to October, the deck of the 1933 sailing ship, opposite. ### Sunday · 15:30 · Late lunch and train A meal at the Störtebeker Braugasthaus, open every day, or straight to the afternoon train to Berlin. ## Un consejo más Bring walking boots for the trail and a windcheater: the Baltic wind blows in summer too. ## Cuándo no ir From November to March, if you want the boat and the sailing ship: the Gorch Fock is closed and there are hardly any trips to the cliffs. The Ozeaneum and the Königsstuhl open as usual. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### How long does it take from Berlin to Stralsund? About three hours by direct train. ### Do I need a car? No: train to Sassnitz, bus 23 and the trail on foot. ### Can I do it with children? Yes: they love the Ozeaneum, the Skywalk and the boat. With little ones, go up to the Königsstuhl by bus instead of the trail. ### How much does it cost? Between €220 and €380 per person with two hotel nights, train, tickets and meals. ## Dónde dormir without a car - **Lieblingsplatz Hotel Scheelehof**: Sleeping in a Hanseatic house The Scheelehof occupies several protected houses on Fährstraße, right in the old town and beside the old harbour: St Nicholas's and the town hall are a few minutes away, as is the Ozeaneum.
