On the Wittow peninsula in the north of the island of Rügen there is a 45 meter high cliff consisting of chalk and clay till - Cape Arkona. Once a cult site of the Ranen, the almost northernmost point of Rügen is one of the most popular excursion destinations on the island. From the cliff you have an impressive view over the Baltic Sea.

The Arkona lighthouse can be easily reached from Putgarten on foot, by bike or on the “Kap Arkona train”.

Anyone who has climbed the 175 steps will be treated to a truly wonderful panoramic view… By the way, all the steps are numbered so you always know how many steps there are to the top!😉

Anyone who wants to enjoy the view from the lighthouse should definitely check the opening times:
Closed November - March!
April 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
May 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
June - September 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
October 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
As of 2025, admission costs €3 per person.

In addition to the new lighthouse, there is much more to see on Kap Arkona: the old lighthouse (Schinkel tower), the military bunkers, the fog signal station, the direction-finding tower, the Slavic castle wall with Jaromasburg. A short walk to the fishing village of Vitt is also highly recommended from here.

The ascent to Lighthouse is not very easy on the last stretch, because then after you have made the 102 steps over a small iron ladder up to the observation deck, but it's worth it
