Yes. Baabe has several bike hire businesses with trekking bikes, mountain bikes and e-bikes. Some deliver free of charge to the villages of the Mönchgut peninsula.

Important: spa cards are not valid on the Rügensche Bäderbahn. Bikes can only be carried if there is enough space – in high season the train can be full.
Tickets and fares of the Rasender RolandIs Mönchgut flat enough for inexperienced cyclists?
Yes. The seaside resorts on Mönchgut lie on flat ground, and the rides between Baabe, Sellin and Göhren are short and without notable climbs.
It only gets more demanding inland and on the high shore path towards Binz, where the coastal woodland brings climbs.
Where can you cycle from Baabe?
To Sellin and Göhren on the Baltic coast cycle path, on to Binz, or into the villages of the Mönchgut peninsula such as Gager, Lobbe and Thiessow.
If you have more time, cycle to Granitz Hunting Lodge or take the Bäderbahn and ride back from another station.

Rügen by bike: what matters
The Baltic coast cycle path is well signposted on Rügen and leads through the seaside resorts. Between Baabe and Sellin it runs close to the coast, between Baabe and Göhren southwards along the edge of the villages.
Besides the coast path there are country lanes inland that are noticeably quieter. If you leave the coast you meet field and woodland tracks, which can get soft after rain.
Ferienwohnung Helene includes a lockable bike room, and two bicycles are available for use where available. That makes arriving with your own bike easy to plan.
E-bikes on Rügen
E-bikes are widespread on Rügen and available from the hire businesses. For longer rides across the island – to Putbus, to Granitz Hunting Lodge or towards the chalk coast – an e-bike is a comfortable option.
When taking one on the Bäderbahn, note the higher bike fare of €6.00 per journey. For a week the bike ticket for e-bikes costs €24.00.
