Holidays with children
Family holidays in Baabe
Baabe suits a family holiday on the Baltic Sea because everything is close: the beach, the supermarket, the bakery, the bus stop and the Rasender Roland station are all near the apartment.
The beach shelves gently into the water, so children can paddle safely. Beach chairs and hire stations are available, and beach access paths lead through the dunes.
The apartment sleeps up to four people: in the bedroom in the double bed, in the living area on the pull-out sofa bed. A travel cot and a high chair can be added for a fee.
Ideas for rainy days
In changeable weather, Jagdschloss Granitz, the spa villas of Binz, the residence town of Putbus or a trip to the Hanseatic town of Stralsund are all worthwhile. The Rasender Roland runs in the rain too – and is an experience in itself.
Planning a holiday on Rügen
The island is well connected in every direction. The history of Baabe and the best time to visit Rügen will help with your planning. Prices and availability are on the booking page.
