With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it'd be much harder to experience everything that Greifswald, 25 miles away, has to offer. Eldena Abbey, St. Mary's Church and St. Nikolai Cathedral alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Located 30 miles away, Sellin is another popular destination. If you swing by, make sure you check out Binz Beach, Sellin Pier and Baabe Beach.
