"Dranske greets its guests" is written at the entrance of the village on the northwestern tip of Rügen. However, the friendly greeting does not make up for what was made of this place with the construction of unfriendly housing silos. The flats served members of the army, because the entire 'Bug', the long peninsula south of Dranske, was a military area. In the 'Heimatmuseum Dranske/Bug', founded in 1999, this part of the history of the place is also presented.

After the withdrawal of the military, the conversion of the still closed properties for touristic use failed so far because of the financing. However, belonging to the National Park Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft, the southern part of the Bug can be visited as part of guided walks.

At the wooden bridge, the house "Wittow" advertises the sport diving exhibition "Marine Archaeology on the Northwest Coast of Rügen" and presents with a bent central propeller of a "BV 138", which crashed in 1945 off Dranske, a find from the depths.

The beach on the northwestern coast of Dranske is popular as a secluded bathing place. A high shore path runs along the coastline to Cape Arkona.
