Villas in Breege

About Breege

Breege-Juliusruh is a municipality of small villages (Breege, Juliusruh, Kammin, Lobkevitz and Schmantevitz) on Rügen's northern coast, only a couple of metres above sea level. Tourism is Juliusruh's mainstay, and Breege has a yacht harbour listed as one of the island's oldest. The Schaabe is the draw: a sandy beach of about 8 km on the narrow strip joining the Wittow and Jasmund peninsulas. It pulls in bathers all summer, though they spread out along its length so it only now and then feels crowded, and the shore break can be a nuisance. The homes are spread over a few kilometres of the villages around it. They sleep up to six, most have a garden, some have a sauna or fireplace, and none has a pool.

Getting to Breege

Fly to Berlin and drive: Berlin to Breege is just over three hours by road. Trains via Stralsund take nearer five and three quarter hours, so most visitors will want a car for the villages and the beach with luggage and bikes in tow.

When to go to Breege

Summer is when the Schaabe is busiest, although bathers spread along its eight kilometres. Wave surfers use it in north-east to south-east winds, and there is an awkward shore break to get through. Outside summer the beach is still freely accessible at any time, but check opening times for harbour and visitor services before an off-season visit.
