Rasender Roland
Rügensche Bäderbahn
A 750-millimetre narrow-gauge steam train running between Putbus and Göhren, linking the seaside towns along Rügen's southeast coast.
This narrow-gauge railway runs for about 24 km, from Lauterbach Harbour through Putbus, Binz, Granitz Hunting Lodge, Sellin, Baabe and on to Göhren. Its steam locomotives reach a top speed of about 30 km/h, which is why the line is nicknamed the 'Crazy Roland'. The full journey takes around 75 minutes, and a day ticket lets you get on and off as you please. A good option is to board at Binz and get off at the Granitz Hunting Lodge stop, then walk uphill. In summer it runs roughly every 1 to 2 hours, with fewer services in winter.
