Location:
Are you looking for peace, relaxation, fresh Baltic Sea air and the great outdoors? Our holiday apartment in Hof Gronow is just 400m from the very flat, sandy natural beach (ideal for children and dogs) with a view of Rügen, in a perfect location between Stralsund and Greifswald. At the transition between Strelasund and Greifswalder Bodden is the coastal hiking trail in the nature reserve with a wonderful view over the Bodden to Rügen. Here you can observe the many water birds that breed there all year round, such as seagulls, swans, coots, terns and especially the popular migratory birds greylag goose and the famous Grus Grus (cranes). In bad weather, you can reach all the infrastructure and entertainment options in the cities much better and faster from here than from Rügen!
There is a free slipway for sports and fishing boats on Tremter Beach, it is a paradise for dog owners, water sports enthusiasts (kite surfers and surfers, stand-up paddlers) and anglers (garfish, pike-perch, herring and much more), hikers, those seeking peace and quiet and cyclists. Stahlbrode can be reached via the Boddenweg (to the north) in about 4 km, where you will find restaurants, a fish shop at the harbor, and a boat rental in the small marina. Gristow can be reached via the Boddenweg (to the south through the forest) in about 4.5 km, where you will find the small village shop with post office and a good fish restaurant in the small harbor (about 4.8 KM). By car ferry from Stahlbrode (car about 6.5 KM) you can reach Rügen with the fine, wide sandy beaches in the large seaside resorts or insider tips such as Palmer Ort (opposite Tremter Beach on Rügen). It takes about 35 minutes to drive to the seaside resort of Lubmin.
