Vitt fishing village

Highlight • Settlement

The idyllic and somewhat remote fishing village invites you to stop off in the warm months with many small cafés. From the beach you already have a great view of the cliffs.

Vitt Pebble Beach with View of Kap Arkona

Highlight • Beach

The beach of Vitt can only be reached via the riverside gorge, in which the fishing village of Vitt is also located.
It is very rocky and begs you to look for chicken gods. 😀
But you can also just sit on the beach, listen to the sound of the waves and let your gaze wander over the water.
From here you have a very nice view towards Cape Arkona and you can see the bearing tower.

Peilturm at Cape Arkona

Highlight • Monument

The Jaromarsburg

In the middle of the castle stood the temple in 1168 with the oversized wooden image of the four-headed god Svantevit.

The remains of the Arkona Temple Castle are an important testimony to Slavic cultural history in the Baltic Sea region. Protected on three sides by the cliffs and on the land side by a 25 meter high rampart, it was a place of worship for the natives of Rügen from the 6th to the 12th century - the Slavic Ranen. With the conquest and destruction of the sanctuary under the leadership of Bishop Absalon of Roskilde in 1168, the Christianization of the islanders was initiated. The Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus was an eyewitness to this decisive event. Only the descriptions in the 14th book of his "Historia Danica" have handed down details of how the Ranenburg looked before it was destroyed.

Natural erosion at the cape over the centuries has caused much of the inner castle to collapse into the Baltic Sea and have been swallowed up by the sea. For the excavation team and its leader Fred Ruchthöft, it is a race against time to secure the archaeological finds. For example, the archaeologists literally brought to light a spearhead, arrowheads, pearls and a spur. Imposing cultural-historical individual pieces from the archaeological excavations from inside the ramparts are exhibited in the observation tower.

Gellort – Northernmost Point of Rügen

Highlight • Beach

From Gellort, the northernmost point of the island of Rügen, it is only about 70 kilometers to Sweden and just over 50 kilometers to the island of Mon (Denmark). If the visibility is good, the chalk cliffs of Mon can be seen from Gellort.

March 17, 2026,Rund um Kap Arkona

A wonderfully beautiful day here on Rügen, perfect for a hike in a wide loop around Cape Arkona. Sometimes the path led along the top with views of the sea, sometimes right along the water's edge. Both were stunning.

March 6, 2024,Runde von Juliusruh zum Kap Arkona und zum nördlichsten Blick von Rügen, zurück übers flache Land

Another lap to collect kilometers. The most beautiful sections are those by the sea, otherwise you just go straight ahead. I somehow expected more from Cape Arkona, there isn't really much or anything "spectacular" to see. The fishing village of Vitt is still sleeping or construction work is taking place. It will be full here during the season and is …

June 15, 2025,Wanderung mit Kuchenpause und Blick zurück

The starting point was the quiet, free parking lot on Ernst-Thälmann-Straße in Altenkirchen. The hike mostly followed well-maintained, paved paths. After Kap Arkona, things became quieter – here, the trail continued on natural paths.
The Café Zur kleinen Rast offered a break with homemade cake – simple and delicious.
The visit to Vitt was particularly impressive. While the poorest people …

September 20, 2025,Ostseeweg Rügen 🌊

Today, in glorious weather ☀️, the Baltic Sea Trail Rügen was on the agenda. Joining us were @Conny and @Peggy. Both started at 10:00 a.m., but I wasn't allowed to leave until 10:30 a.m. To catch up with them, I had to walk briskly on the Rügen trail. I was surprised when, after 10 km, the clock only showed 1:32 …

A comment later, first enjoy the finisher's beer.

So, now a few lines about the Ostseeweg Rügen. Yes, Ostseeweg had called, and between 500 and 600 hiking enthusiasts showed up. The start was at 10 a.m. on the spa square in Breege. A total of three starting groups were sent out on the route. No comparison to the mass processing …

October 14, 2022,Ums Kap Arkona

Today's tour took us from Altenkirchen to the Knaus campsite. From there we hiked to Goor on the coastal cycle path along fields, past the extremely impressive giant stone grave "Riesenberg" Nobbin. After Goor descended to the stone beach and along here very adventurously :-) walked on to Vitt. You can also walk the route well above on the bike …
