Children's and young people's awareness of nature conservation and environmental issues has grown considerably in recent years. The right offer for this interest has been available in the Baltic seaside resort of Göhren for a long time. Göhren is located in the easternmost part of Rügen on the Mönchgut peninsula. First mentioned in a document in 1165, the former fishing and pilot village, whose name does not come from naughty horses, but from the Slavic "Gora" for "mountain", has developed into a popular seaside resort since the late 19th century.

Here, the spa administration, in cooperation with the agency „Discover Rügen“, has been organizing the unique and free project „Urlaubsranger“ for guests of the Baltic seaside resort Göhren since 2007: Young holidaymakers, accompanied by expert „ecologists, put their knowledge and enthusiasm for nature to good use by acting as „vacation rangers“, thereby making a valuable contribution to nature conservation in the region. A win-win situation for families on an environmentally conscious vacation with children: The kids have fun and do good at the same time.
