Sagard is a town of 2,500 people on Rügen. It's a place on your journey rather than a destination, or a base for exploring other parts of the island. It's old town is being regenerated, and its centre has cobblestone streets with a mix of renovated and new businesses and houses, and those in need of a little attention.
