Set off the Pomeranian coast is Rugen, Germany's largest island, swathed in a blanket of chestnut, oak, elm and poplar trees. Encompassing the island are breathtaking beaches and lavish seaside resorts, sleepy fishing villages and handsome manor houses. Hike and cycle up Cape Arkona, a 45-metre high headland that features two lighthouses, a navigation tower, two military bunker complexes, and the Slavic temple fortress of Jaromarsburg. Providing unparalleled views of the landscape and the sea is the observation deck at Baumwipfelpfad im Naturerbe Zentrum Rügen. Characterised by a jaw-dropping landscape of dense forests, cliffs, beaches, and bogs is the awe-inspiring Jasmund National Park home to the dramatic white chalk cliffs of Königsstuhl, famously immortalised by Caspar David Friedrich in 1818 in his oil painting Chalk Cliffs on Rügen.
