The coastal path near Altenkirchen on the Wittow peninsula (Rügen) is a real insider tip for anyone who prefers the Baltic Sea rougher and more original than the crowded promenades of the imperial spas. Altenkirchen itself is not directly on the water, but it is the gateway to the north coast. The actual coastal path leads from the settlement of Drewoldke (near Altenkirchen) along the cliff coast towards Cape Arkona or west towards Juliusruh.

A great spot for a view of the island of Hiddensee. There's a little something special here: it's a campsite. I had to push my bike from the entrance because driving is impossible in the fine sand. There was nothing going on there early in the morning, which made it all the more enjoyable to enjoy the view.
