Get away from it all, brave the wind, recharge your batteries, leave your mark on the sand: Hiking on Rügen has its own special charms and opens up new horizons. Dense beech forests, romantic hills and heaths, wild cliffs and kilometre-long beaches invite you to explore this unique world on foot on Germany's largest island. The highlights of a holiday on Germany's largest island are Cape Arkona and the Jasmund Peninsula.
