Please check local regulations for: Nordperd
Circumnavigation of Nordperd. A real challenge as there is no real path. Sometimes it goes over the bank reinforcement and directly along the steep coast, over stick and stone. Recommended for everyone who likes things different.

"The Nordperd (Perd = Slavic protrusion) is a cape on Rügen. It is part of the Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve and the Mönchgut Nature Reserve.
The cape forms the easternmost point of the island of Rügen and the Vorpommern-Rügen district. The approximately 1500 meter long headland has the shape of an isosceles triangle, which tapers to the east in a wooded cliff about 20 meters high. The Nordperd was fortified by coastal protection measures and thus cut off from active processes of the balancing coast.
The Nordperd sub-area of the Mönchgut Nature Reserve covers 69 hectares. Dry grassland,[2] the sycamore-ash slope forest on the cliff[3] as well as beach and shallow water areas are characteristic.
The northern beach section with spa promenade of the Baltic Sea resort of Göhren is separated by the Nordperd cape from the south-facing beach of Göhren.
Between the Göhren pier and the Nordperd The Buskam is the largest boulder ever found in northern Germany, which rises about one meter out of the sea." Source: Wikipedia
