What it is
The Rasender Roland, "Racing Roland", is a narrow-gauge (750 mm) steam train that has run since 1895 through south-east Rügen, at 30 km/h at most. It goes from Putbus, the prince's little white town, to Binz, Sellin, Baabe and Göhren, the resorts on the coast. It is public transport, all year and every day.
How it works
Take the ordinary train to Putbus or to Binz (the DB station) and board the Roland at Putbus or at Binz LB. About 180 days a year it also leaves from Lauterbach Mole, Putbus's harbour. Note: from 23 November to 11 December 2026 there are works and a bus replaces it.
