リュゲン島の展望台と灯台

Coastal Viewpoints and Lighthouses

Explore Rügen’s maritime history and coastal geography through its collection of elevated landmarks. This selection features the historic brick lighthouses of Cape Arkona, including the Schinkelturm designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, and the unique thin-shell concrete architecture of the Müther-Turm in Binz. From the chalk cliffs of Jasmund National Park at Victoria-Sicht to the pilot tower in Thiessow, these structures provide vantage points over the Baltic Sea, the Greifswalder Bodden, and the island's diverse shoreline.
