Sassnitz was the first recognised seaside health resort on the island of Rügen. Because of its chalk deposits, it was a seaside resort and spa town for centuries, but was destroyed by industrialisation. And the fisheries here also has a long tradition that has remained until today. In the post-war years - when Sassnitz's fisheries were at their peak - the company owned around 200 seaworthy fishing boats. Today, passenger ships sail along the chalk coast from Sassnitz, and numerous passenger and container ships depart from Germany's largest railway ferry port. The fastest connection between Germany and Sweden is to take a StenaLine ferry to Trelleborg; the crossing takes four hours and there are five ferries departing daily. The night train from Berlin to Malmö is also loaded onto the ship. After the war - the largest flower of Sassnitz fisheries - belonged about 200 ocean-going fishing boats to this operation. From here begins boat trips to the chalk cliffs and from the largest German train ferry port begins many Farries and container ships to Denmark, Sweden, Lithuania and Russia. The fastest connection between Germany and Sweden, is the use of the Stena Line ferry to Trelleborg, the crossing is 4 hours, 5 times a day to start a ferry. On the ship is also loaded the night train Berlin-Malmö.
