Sellin is situated on the south-eastern resort coast of Rügen Island. The youth hostel is located in town by the coastal forest. For swimming, surfing and water sports you’ll find the sea 500m to the east and Lake Sellin in the opposite direction. At Mönchgut peninsula in the very south of the island there are several lookouts. The Baltic resort of Binz, Prora, Jasmund National Park, Cape Arkona, Putbus, Hiddensee and Stralsund are worth a visit too.
