Cape Arkona – Lighthouses & Cliffs

The two lighthouses of Cape Arkona are the emblem of the island of Rügen. The old Schinkel tower from 1827, designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, was once the first lighthouse on the German Baltic Sea coast. Next to it stands the impressive New Lighthouse from 1905 – still operational today and a symbol of guidance and constancy. A climb is worthwhile: From the top, a panorama unfolds that is second to none – the deep blue of the Baltic Sea, the white chalk cliffs, the green fields of Rügen. Around the towers, you will find small galleries, exhibitions, and a historic signal tower with a view of the coastline.

Fisherman's Village Vitt – a Place that Breathes Time

Just a 15-minute walk from the hotel lies the fishing village of Vitt, one of the oldest villages on the island. Twelve thatched cottages cling to the cliffs here, surrounded by wind, waves, and history. Time seems to stand still here: no traffic, no noise – just the crunch of gravel underfoot and the murmur of the Baltic Sea. Especially charming is the little café on the shore with views of the sea, the scent of freshly smoked fish, and the soft light that turns Vitt gold at sunset. A walk here is a must – for romantics, photographers, and anyone wanting to experience the true essence of Rügen.

King's Staircase & Violet Staircase – Paths to Tranquility

Two mysterious paths lead down to the sea: the King's Staircase and the Violet Staircase. They connect the mighty cliffs with the beach below – spectacular, wild, and beautiful. According to legend, the King's Staircase, once visited by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV, offers expansive views and leads via wooden steps and chalk rocks directly to the sea. The Violet Staircase is smaller, more hidden, and almost mystical – a place for quiet moments, for togetherness, or to gaze into the endless expanse of the Baltic Sea.

Nordstrand & Nonnewitz – where Rügen remains wild

Just a few minutes away from the cape lie the beaches that make Rügen's northernmost tip a hidden gem. The North Beach – a natural, tranquil section of coastline – offers fine sand, crashing waves and the impressive backdrop of the cliffs. Here, you can feel the full force of the Baltic Sea – untouched, clear, and free. A little further west, near Nonnewitz, one of the island's most beautiful natural beaches unfolds: wide, peaceful, framed by dunes and forest. Perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply for silence and wonder.

New Year's Eve on the Baltic Sea – peaceful, relaxed, and without fireworks


As the year changes, Kap Arkona shows its most tranquil and beautiful side.
Our Hotel & Restaurant Zum Kap Arkona is particularly popular on New Year's Eve with guests who wish to begin the year in a relaxed, nature-close setting without loud fireworks.
Around Putgarten remains quiet – only the sound of the wind, the sea, and the view of the lighthouses accompany the turn of the year.

Stroll along the wintry cliff coastline, enjoy the clear starry sky over the cape, or spend the evening cosily in the company of your loved ones – far from the hustle and bustle, close to yourself.

For those who prefer a livelier atmosphere, the larger towns on the island can be reached in a few minutes, where traditional New Year's Eve celebrations with fireworks take place.
So you decide for yourself: quietly and contemplatively by the sea or festively and brightly into the new year – entirely according to your feelings.
