This camera watches the chalk cliffs and open sea at Cape Arkona, on the northern tip of the island of Rügen in Germany's Baltic Sea. People tune in to check the sea state, the light over the water, and whether the wind is blowing hard before a walk or a ferry crossing.
About the place
Cape Arkona lies near the village of Putgarten, on the northern edge of Rügen, Germany's largest island. The headland rises about 41 metres above the Baltic and is known for its white chalk cliffs, its two lighthouses and the old Slavic stronghold that once stood on the promontory. The landscape is flat inland and open to the sea, so the sky and water dominate the view.
What the stream shows
The camera is aimed at the cape area, so the view mostly depends on wind, cloud cover and visibility over the water. Early mornings and late afternoons often give the softest light on the cliffs, while stormy days bring the most dramatic sea. Because the picture is a live stream, the conditions you see are the conditions of the moment, not a recorded highlight.
Visiting and nearby views
The Baltic coast is mildest from late spring to early autumn, when the sea is warmer and the paths are dry. Winters can be windy and cold. Other live views nearby include the Peilturm lighthouse camera and the cape cameras at Vitt and Rügenhof, which show the same stretch of coast from different angles and help you compare conditions.
