If you've experienced this holiday first hand, why not write a review?
We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
Spend plenty of time exploring Stralsund and its lovely buildings before heading off to the beautiful island of Rugen over the excellent bridge. Definitely take provisions on the first day, even in Putbus we struggled to find a cafe. The island is very scenic with a mix of pretty villages with thatched 'cottages', small harbours, forest trails, an historic hunting lodge, national parks, good ferries, excellent cycle paths and signage and superb hotels. We can recommend Fische Brotchen for lunch in Vitte on Hiddensee, Peter's Bakery near Prora for lunch and Fischermanns on Stralsund waterfront for dinner. The pull/push up Jagdschlos Granitz is well worth it as is the climb up the tower for the view. Also the Konigsstuhl NP visitor centre. Advise you get there early to take the audio tour as it gets very busy and is only a short cycle through the woods from the hotel. Lovely to feel you are definitely on the German holiday trail - very few, if any other English guests apparent and we were given friendly welcomes everywhere.
Lovely routes around an island with an extremely interesting history. The contrast between quiet, rural routes and the fabulous towns was amazing. We wish we'd stayed an extra night at Solthus am See, it was so peaceful and welcoming. The visit to Prora and the Document Centre was a highlight for us. We would also recommend an extra night in Stralsund to experience its history and museums. Finally, the holiday notes mention music nights in the Hotel Scheelehof bar and weekly regattas. If we had known about those in advance, we would have reviewed our holiday dates to experience one or the other.
We had a wonderful holiday on Rugen. The sun shone every day and we enjoyed getting to know this beautiful and quite remote island. We loved that we never heard an english voice - it is definitely a holiday destination for Germans. A surprisingly small number of people spoke english which added to the adventure! We found the hotel at Solthus am See charming and set in a beautiful location. If we did the holiday again we'd have an extra night there as there are lots of things to do in the area and the hotel is well connected with tourist trains/ferries etc to make exploration possible. We were travelling in asparagus season so every restaurant had a specific asparagus menu which we enjoyed! The cycling was virtually all on cycle paths - Rugen is really an island geared up for cyclists. Our bikes were sturdy trekking bikes well suited to all the different terrain. We highly recommend this holiday.

Personal highlight - first hotel was outstanding and the routes gave such variety
We had a fabulous holiday. The blurb about it on the website (ie the intro) was accurate and provided exactly what we were looking for - an organised and tailor made comfortable and refreshing holiday for us, at the same time as being interesting, different, surprising and unusual - so the sense of adventure side of it was there too. We were welcomed warmly everywhere and had a very stimulating time with some long cycling days too.
A great tour of a lovely part of Germany. Wonderful sense of escape, and being off the beaten track... surprising number of locals don't speak English which heightened that sense. Popular with mainly German tourists - very few Brits. Thatched cottages (old and new) abound, upmarket coastal holiday towns, amazing white sand beaches that stretch for miles. A perfect break to recharge the batteries.
In Lohne take a camera to dinner for the sunset or go to viewpoint at top of harbour where people gather to watch the sunset. The upgrade for the Romantik Hotel Scheelehof is worth it: organised calm civilised individual breakfast, no buffet scrum. I used the rear entrance of the hotel as my room was in the building. I unloaded my car and it was easier to drive from here to the Parkhaus than trying to park at the front of hotel. I took my bike out of the store and used the bike racks at the rear entrance to load my bike. The hotel bike store can get crowded, it is best to open the door fully then take the bike down the slope.
We noticed that most locals used electric bikes, which would have made ascending the few hills much easier. Next time we will consider doing the same. We particularly enjoyed the spa facilities at Hotel Solthus am See. We didn't struggle finding restaurants for evening meals and all provided breakfasts were very good. On the whole an enjoyable combination of rail, ferry and cycling.
