Sassnitz

Until the mid-19th century, Sassnitz was a small fishing village. In the 1880s, the first holidaymakers began to arrive here. The settlement began to grow and in 1891 it was granted city status. In the 20th century, it developed rapidly as a port, with large ferries stopping here and infrastructure for cruise ships.




We strolled along the pleasant promenade. At one point, we turned into the town, but if you continue along the shore, you can see the chalk cliffs of Yasmund National Park. The cliffs can also be seen during a boat trip.


















We didn't even know about the old town; found it by accident. It is small and resembles Norway.








We also walked along the huge pier to the lighthouse.












Getting there: good paid parking 54.514722, 13.646444. Sassnitz railway station is 1 km from the waterfront.
