Putgarten is the northernmost of the towns on Rügen and surrounded by the Baltic Sea on three sides at a distance of 700-1000 m. Its main attraction are the lighthouses at Cape Arkona. The vacation home is situated in a quiet area at the edge of town with a view of the fields. A track across the fields takes you to the cliffs 700 m away & to a way down to the beach. The lighthouses are just as close.
At 2 km there is a parking lot at the cliffs, again with a way down to a marvelous natural beach. At 8 km you'll find the beach at the Schaabe with a length of 12 km, where you can try out the famous Strandkörbe - wicker hooded beach seats. Bicycle paths extend from the Cape in every direction. At 6 km, in Altenkirchen, you'll find some shops.
When travelling by car, take Bundesautobahn A20, exit Stralsund. From there, it is a 29 km drive on the two-lane expressway B96 to Rügenbrücke, the bridge connecting Rügen to the mainland, and another 69 km to Putgarten.
You can also reach Rügen via bus and train. There are international bus connections to Rügen. The nearest train station is Sagard. There are train connections from many major European cities to Rügen, see www.bahn.com.
There are local buses from Sagard and from Bergen auf Rügen to Putgarten (with transfers, about once an hour, see www.vmv-mbh.de/nc/fahrplanauskunft.html). You can rent a car (www.ruegen.de/service/anreise/mobil-auf-der-insel.html) or bicycles (for example from our caretaker) for getting around on Rügen.
