  • Kap Arkona ist the north cap of Rügen, a beautiful little village with two lighthouses. To reach Kap Arkona you have to leave your car on the big parking place (fee!) in Puttgarten. From here it is a 2 km walk to Kap Arkona, the alternative is to rent a bike in Puttgarten. The smaller lighthouse was constructed by the famous architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel and built in 1827. The lighthouse is open for tourists as a museum nowadays. The larger lighthouse tower with the red top was built in 1902 and is still warning ships on the see every 16 seconds.
    Can you see the Island Moen on the north side of the East sea?

  • The Königsstuhl is a very famous chalk rock with a height of 118m, which can be seen from far away when sailing on the see. Formed in the ice age, the Kreidefelsen have a brilliant white colour and they are the most impressing place worth seeing on the Jasmund peninsula. Standing on the viewpoint on top of the Königsstuhl offers a gigantic view on the deep blue sea.

    Things To Do: Prora

  • It is the longest building of Europe with a length of almost 5km and it is situated at one of the most lovely beaches on Rügen: Prora, a grey, old and run down colossus. Prora is worth a visit because of its unbelievable dimension and the dark history that lies within.
    Hitler built this building in the 30s as a gigantic seaside resort for his people but it should have been more a demonstration of his power and uniformity of the German nation. Now it is a ruin.

  • Sellin is a seaside resort with a very special atmosphere. It is known for its famous old fashioned Sea-Bridge with some cafes on it. The centre of Sellin lies 40m above on top of steep cliffs from which you have a magnificent view on the sea and the bridge. The main street in Sellin is the Wilhelmstraße in which you find small shops and cafes but brilliant old villas, build in the Bäderachitecture-style.
