About Cape Arkona
Cape Arkona sits on the chalk cliffs of northern Rügen, Germany's largest island in the Baltic Sea. It is known for its white cliffs, the old lighthouse and the Hochufer, a high bluff that drops toward the water. The area is open and windswept, and the light over the Baltic changes quickly through the day. Putgarten is a small village just inland, which makes it a quiet base compared with the busier viewpoints.
What the camera shows
Based on its title, this camera is aimed at the parking area serving the cape, so the view mainly tells you about traffic, parking space and general conditions on the approach. Depending on the framing, you may also see the open landscape and sky beyond. Mornings and clear afternoons tend to be the most pleasant times to look. In autumn and winter, a low sun and grey weather can make the coastline look dramatic.
Practical notes
The northern coast of Rügen has a mild maritime climate, with cool summers and wet, windy winters. Late spring and early autumn are often the most comfortable for walking the cliffs. The nearby cameras on this page, including the views at Vitt and Cape Arkona, show the lighthouse and cliff areas from slightly different angles. Bring windproof clothing, as conditions on the headland can change quickly.
