This year in Binz!

Location

Why in Binz this year?

Dear longtime guests of WFO-Helgoland!

We are drawn for the first time to another German island in 2023 for the 12th WFO, which has also been a very strong advocate for offshore wind: After eleven years on the North Sea, this year we cordially invite you to Binz on Rügen in the Baltic Sea. By ICE we will start with you on Thursday morning, August 31 in Hamburg or Berlin (there is of course also an airport on Rügen). Binz offers us offshore wind at our fingertips and a wide range of event, accommodation and excursion options – within walking distance, just like on Heligoland. Even though Binz is a few sizes bigger, the number of participants remains limited.

There, in front of Sassnitz, not even 7 km away from Binz, some wind farm projects will be projected and installed in the next years.

Travel Charme Hotel | Binz

A landmark of Rügen has been shining in new splendor for a few years now. The Kurhaus Binz has been the first address for excellent hospitality on the Baltic Sea island for more than 100 years. Now it fascinates with fresh, light and elegant design in rooms and the two restaurants. Stylish and unique. With a wonderful location on the beach and pier and the best cuisine with panoramic views of the Baltic Sea.
