Putgarten

Putgarten sits on Rügen’s Baltic Sea coast in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, where the island narrows toward Cape Arkona. The municipality includes this exposed headland, Rügen’s northernmost point, whose chalk cliffs rise above the Baltic and have long made it a navigational landmark. Cape Arkona’s two lighthouses, built in 1826 and 1902, stand beside the remains of Jaromarsburg, a Slavic hillfort and sanctuary captured by Danish forces in 1168. Putgarten is also a practical base for exploring the island’s northern shore on foot or by bicycle, away from Rügen’s larger resorts.
