New Year's Eve without firecrackers: Experience peace and festivity on Rügen!
The Baltic Sea island of Rügen presents itself in a new light on New Year's Eve, as parts of the island have been declared pop-free zones. This was done for several reasons: on the one hand, to ensure the protection of thatched houses, on the other hand, the measure helps to reduce the increased dust pollution caused by fireworks and the associated noise level. Private fireworks displays are strictly prohibited, particularly on the Mönchgut peninsula.
How HolidayCheck reported, the traditional bangers are being replaced by official fireworks events in places like Binz, Cape Arkona, Bergen and Baabe. These events, which have been established for years, offer a festive alternative to private firecrackers.
Celebrations and events
The New Year's Eve celebrations on Rügen are diverse. Ruegen.de emphasizes that the fireworks are beautifully reflected in the Baltic Sea and contribute to the special atmosphere. In addition, many hotels and holiday homes offer banger-free options, which is a pleasant alternative for families and sensitive guests.

Many people like to combine good resolutions with a relaxing vacation, which makes the island of Rügen a popular destination for the turn of the year. The variety of events in hotels ensures that there is something suitable for everyone, regardless of whether you are looking for relaxation all year round or are celebrating the turn of the year on New Year's Eve.
