Discover Rambin
Accommodation in Rambin
Rambin offers more than one way to explore the island’s history: here, St. John’s Church and regional culture meet paths through the Bodden landscape. Walks, cycling tours, distinctive historic features and gatherings around the bread oven add different touches to your stay. You can decide whether you would rather spend your holiday outdoors, exploring culture or enjoying regional offerings.
Explore the Bodden landscape on foot and by bike
Near Rambin, you can explore the Bodden landscape on walks and cycling tours. Along the way, you may spot wild geese and cranes. These nature experiences are not just for cyclists: if you prefer to get around on foot, you can also find a suitable way to take in the landscape. If you enjoy cycling, bike paths lead from Rambin to Lake Karow. From there, you can enjoy an impressive view of the Kubitzer Bodden and the salt marshes beyond.
Fishing is another option to consider when planning your trip: it is possible in the Kubitzer Bodden, which borders Rambin. Together with the routes through the landscape, this offers different possibilities for your stay without requiring a set daily schedule. Rambin is also a good starting point for excursions around the island of Rügen or to the mainland. If you are weighing up nature experiences against other excursion destinations, you can take this option into account when choosing where to stay.
Regional offerings and Rambin gatherings
A special opportunity to get to know local life in Rambin is the “Rambin Conversations at the Bread Oven.” They take place on the last Friday of every month from April to September at 5 p.m. Fresh bread is baked, and the programme also includes talks and group discussions. The regular schedule and the combination of baking and conversation give these gatherings a distinctive character. If you would like to plan your travel dates around them, note that they take place monthly from April to September.
The Rügen Farmers’ Market Alte Pommernkate in Rambin serves breakfast, regional lunch dishes and homemade cakes. There is also a farm grill and a fish stand. This brings together a range of regional food and offerings in one place. The Pommernkate can add its own culinary focus to your plans for a trip to Rambin.
Church, museum and historic buildings
St. John’s Church was first mentioned in a document in 1300 and is one of the oldest churches on the island of Rügen. Its distinctive features include a baptismal font from the 13th century, the oldest item in the church. It is also home to a late-medieval rood cross and a late-medieval carved figure of Mary with the Child. These different works take you from the medieval baptismal font to artworks from the Late Middle Ages. For those interested in culture, the church offers several specific points of connection with Rügen’s history.
The Rambin Local History Museum complements this perspective with an almost complete collection of agricultural tools and machinery. The collection was assembled on the former farm of farmer Friedrich Herud from Götemitz and illustrates German agriculture in the first half of the 19th century. When planning a visit, take note of the special opening arrangements: the museum has no regular opening hours and opens for events organised by the association. You can arrange guided tours or visits individually with the museum management or the board.
The St. Jürgen Monastery Chapel in Rambin also serves a cultural purpose today: it houses a gallery with changing exhibitions. The two-storey brick building at the monastery is considered classicism in its purest form. You’ll find a different architectural style in Bessin: the Chapel of the Holy Cross is a Gothic, octagonal brick building. If you are interested in architectural styles, you can include these two contrasting descriptions in your exploration of the Rambin area.
