Island of Hiddensee
Before reunification, the German holiday island of Hiddensee was both a travel destination and a frontline defence for East Germany against possible intrusions by NATO forces across the Baltic Sea... thus the barbed wire fences erected by the former communist army. If you are planning Germany travel and want to enjoy an unusual Baltic holiday reservation, Hiddensee is a unique German experience. Beaches on the island's west and north coasts are wide and have white sands ideal for holiday makers, both Germans and foreigners. The northern beach stretches for 16 kilometres. Cars are not allowed on Hiddensee so if you drive a vehicle north through Germany to enjoy a holiday on the island, you might have to leave it in the carpark at the port of Schaprode, where the ferry departs. The absence of motor cars creates a permanent tranquility on the island, which has good pathways for cycling or walking instead of driving. Bicycle hire outlets are available and although the mostly flat terrain suits travel by bicycle, long sections are exposed to strong and often chilling winds. Despite its small size, Hiddensee Island has a good selection of eateries, many serving fresh cod, hake and zander caught that day. Nudism is allowed on many parts of the beach but the tradition on the rest of the island of women not wearing a top has petered out since the photo above was taken in 1989.
