January 31, 2024,Wanderung um Kloster Dargun herum

In Dargun there are free toilets, free parking spaces and the good E 5 petrol is significantly cheaper there than on the overpriced Rügen.
There is a tourist information center in the monastery. A nice young lady gave us suggestions for hikes!
For me, Dargun is really worth a (longer) visit.

Unfortunately, the season here doesn't start until April, so the monastery and museum were still closed. An all-around beautiful day with great company. A little more sun would have done the pictures good, but it was still beautiful as …
