Its name is said to come from when the Swedish King Karl XII. sat here and watched a sea battle he led against the Danish

Here is an opportunity to walk a few kilometers in the lovely beech forest. If you have good health and fitness, it is nice to walk down the cliffs on a stairway to the beach.

For a fee of a few Euros, visit the museum, which is on top. Here you can see the rocks as well and saves time, energy and calories 🙂

 

 

Cape Arkona

Cape Arkona is located on the northernmost point of Rügen. Parking a few kilometers from the scenic area with rocks, lighthouse and museum.

You get a nice walk along the road where you find exciting shops and great cafes.

If you don’t want to go that far, there is a shuttle train that takes you right up to Cape Arkona for a cost of a couple of Euros, but it’s a very nice walk if you can.
