Ferry from Sassnitz to Ronne

Sassnitz Guide

Located on the Jasmund Peninsular in Germany, the town of Sassnitz is a popular port town and coastal resort. It is also the gateway to the Jasmund National Park which is Germany's smallest national park by area. The park has unique chalk cliffs which inspired artists like Casper David Friedrich. The national park has had a national park centre at Konigsstuhl since 2004. There are two exhibitions which provide visitors with an insight into the natural world, the chalk, the Baltic Sea and the Beech forests of the park. Also of interest is the Fishing and Harbour Museum which catalogues the history of fishing on Rugen and the old Sassnitz harbour. In addition to excursion and fishing boats, in the harbour visitors can see the British submarine HMS Otus and the coastal sailing cargo boat, Annemarie, which was converted in 2007 into a passenger boat.

As a result of its good connections to the hinterland and its geographical proximity to Scandinavia, Russia and the Baltic States, the Port of Sassnitz is an important hub for international passenger and goods traffic.

Ronne Guide

Located on the island of Bornholm, also known as the “Pearl of the Baltic”, Ronne is officially part of Denmark although it is in fact closer to Sweden, Poland and Germany and combines the cultures of the entire Baltic region. Ronne is a great place to escape to and relax whilst taking in its beautiful landscape and immersing yourself in its charming slower pace of life. The city's older districts have been popular with tourists for a number of years and of particular interest are the streets of Laksegade and Storegade which have a number of historic houses that were once home to the city's merchants and noblemen. Popular landmarks include the Bornholm Museum, the Defence Museum, St. Nicolas' Church, the Smedegards Riding School and the lighthouse which was built in 1880. The city is quite compact and can easily be explored on foot.

Ronne is connected to the rest of Denmark and to the outside world by ferry services to Koge, Ystad, Sassnitz and Swinoujscie. There is also a high speed catamaran link to Ystad which connects to a direct train link between Ystad and Copenhagen.
