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.

Cape Arkona Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The path from the northern beach along the coast below the cape to the fishing village of Vitt is great and varied, especially for kids...and the smoked fish in Vitt is great. From there then above the cliffs to Cape Arkona and over the dirt roads back to the parking lot.

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.

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.
