About Glowe
Glowe is a state-recognised resort of under 1,000 people on Rügen, where the Jasmund peninsula meets the Schaabe, with the Tromper Wiek bay of the Baltic on one side and the Großer Jasmunder Bodden lagoon on the other. A former fishing village, it grew into the Schaabe woods once seaside tourism took off in the early 20th century. The homes cluster in and around it. Most have a garden, about half a sauna and many a fireplace; they are two-bedroom places for around five, with some that sleep a dozen. The Schaabe beach is wide, white and fine-sanded in front of the dunes. The village has a promenade of about 2 km, a spa square and a harbour with around 400 berths. Evenings are quiet, and out of season quieter still.
Is Glowe right for you?
- Best for
- Families and walkers wanting a long sandy beach and a garden
- Not for you if
- You want an airport within a short drive or a lively resort with nightlife.

When to go to Glowe
Summer is the beach season on the Schaabe, which forms one huge natural bathing bay.

Out of season the village is quiet, and the fireplace and sauna come into their own.

Glowe villa holidays: questions answered
How long is the Schaabe beach near Glowe?
Almost twelve kilometres, running from Glowe to Juliusruh. It is a wide white beach of fine sand in front of the dunes, with a coastal forest of pine, birch and oak behind.
How far is Glowe from the Königsstuhl?
Close, as both are on the Jasmund side of Rügen. The Königsstuhl chalk cliff rises 118 m above the Baltic inside Jasmund National Park, Germany's smallest national park.
Which airport for Glowe?
Hamburg, around 3 hours 10 minutes by road, or Berlin Brandenburg at about 3 hours 20 minutes. Either way it is a long drive, so plan the journey as a travel day.
Is Glowe good for families?
For beach-led holidays, yes. The Schaabe is wide and sandy, and most homes here have a garden, but the village is small, so bigger shopping trips mean driving.
Can you visit Cape Arkona from Glowe?
Easily. The cape is at the tip of Wittow, the peninsula the Schaabe joins to Jasmund; you park at Putgarten and walk 1.8 km, take a horse and carriage or ride the road train. Boats also run daily from Binz and Sassnitz.
