Starlsund

Stralsund is a small coastal town on Germany's Baltic coast. Visit The German Oceanographic Museum, a unique museum dedicated to aquatic and marine conservation. The 70-year-old museum houses over 7000 animals from the Baltic Sea, North Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean. It also has the largest exhibition of whales in the world. Marvel at the architectural brilliance of St Mary's church, built in the 17th century in gothic style. The main organ in the church is one of the famous large baroque organs in Europe. Take a tour of Rathaus, the iconic town hall built in the 13th century in traditional brick gothic style. Wander around the old town to see a clutch of historic buildings and colorful houses. Take a ride on Rigenbrucke, a cable-style museum-reserve bridge that connects the town with the island of Rugen. An engineering marvel, Rugenbrucke is a wonder to behold.
