For many international travellers, the German Baltic coast is still something of an undiscovered secret, yet R\u00fcgen Island in Germany<\/strong> offers one of Europe’s most accessible seasides, complete with fascinating chalk cliffs that rise dramatically above the water. Here you get rugged cliffs, hundred-year-old spa villas and sandy beaches \u2014 all in a single day, with no changes and (almost) no queues. And they’re lined with those iconic wicker beach baskets. While southern Europe swelters through extreme summer heatwaves, here you’ll be welcomed by a refreshingly cool climate and fragrant air<\/strong> full of salt and pine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Germans, though, this coastline means something much bigger, because every year thousands of fans flock here to follow the trail of their favourite TV crime dramas and medical series<\/strong>. Shows like Praxis mit Meerblick, SOKO Wismar and Nord bei Nordwest have turned these local harbours and little towns into cult destinations, even if the TV magic bends reality a little. You might be surprised to learn that the famous fictional town of Schwanitz doesn’t exist at all<\/strong> \u2014 filmmakers pieced it together from several different harbours hundreds of kilometres apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you come specifically for the film locations or you’re simply looking for a beautiful and affordable alternative to the Mediterranean<\/strong>, R\u00fcgen and the neighbouring Hanseatic towns will win your heart for sure. I’ve put together a detailed guide that walks you through the most beautiful corners of Germany’s north<\/strong>, shows you the exact filming spots and tells you how to make the most of the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
