Exhibitions and Galleries, Monuments and Sights

The shore sermons of the Altenkirchen pastor Kosegarten (1758 - 1818) are legendary. The life of Ludwig Gotthard Kosegarten is honored in a permanent exhibition in the Kosegarten House. Many events take place in the house every year.

The Kosegarten-haus is a meeting and event place. A permanent exhibition is dedicated to the life of the famous pastor Kosegarten, who became famous for his shore sermons. Among the friends of this romanticist were Friedrich Schleiermacher, Caspar David Friedrich, Wilhelm von Humboldt or Johann Jacob Grümbke. He was in active correspondence with Goethe, Schiller and Herder and praised the beauty of creation and his island. Ernst-Moritz Arndt was Kosegarten's tutor for several years.

Surfspot Wiek

Freely accessible at any time

The wind mecca of Germany is located high in the north of the Island of Rügen and spoils with an incredible standing area that reaches out 450 meters. The spot is recommended for southwest to north winds. You can take courses and rent equipment at the wind and kitesurfing schools. Because of the sheltered location on the Wieker Bodden, the water is as smooth as iron.

Surfspot North Beach Cape Arkona

Freely accessible at any time
18556 Putgarten

Cape Arkona at the northernmost point of the Island of Rügen is only for the hardy. With winds of 4 Beaufort or more from northwest to east, mighty Baltic Sea waves roll against the steep coast. Rocks lurk everywhere in the water, and when the wind blows from the north, extreme windward congestion occurs.

Monument Kap Arkona

Am Parkplatz, 18556 Putgarten

The area monument Kap Arkona is one of the most popular excursion destinations on Rügen. In addition to the 45 metre high cliff, the cape is home to a whole range of sights: The castle wall of Jaromarsburg Castle is located directly at the top of the Cape. The glass dome of the restored sighting tower glistens next to it. The Schinkel tower, the large lighthouse and the bearing tower can be visited.

Surfspot Dranske

Freely accessible at any time
18556 Dranske

The main spot is located in the middle of the town on the Wieker Bodden - protected from the open Baltic Sea. You can set up and launch on a large meadow. In front of it, there is a large shallow water area with a 200-meter wide standing area. A little insider tip: With east and west winds, you can enjoy the jet effect.

Surfspot Kreptitz

Freely accessible at any time
18556 Dranske

Windsurfers are among themselves here. Kiting is prohibited. On the offshore sandbanks the waves break very cleanly and on strong wind days easily three meters high. You will have the most fun with sideshore from west-southwest. The standing area is narrow. Rocks lurk everywhere under the water surface. Therefore: experts only!

Surfspot Schaabe (Juliusruh)

Freely accessible at any time
18556 Juliusruh

After you have worked your way through the typical Baltic Sea shorebreak in Juliusruh, beautiful waves will put a big smile on your face. With sideshore from the northeast and southeast, you surf parallel to the kilometer-long sandy beach.
