On the cliff coast in the northwesternmost tip of the island of RügenFrom Dranske, a nature-close coastal path leads along a cliff edge covered with a green belt into a small nature reserve. Although it is relatively narrow at 150 m, in spring you can discover not only typical heath flora but also rare orchid species. In the sea-eroded cliff wall (caution, collapses occur repeatedly!), sand martins have built their nesting tubes.

To a Dream Beach on Rügen's North CoastThe thoroughly refreshed and expanded harbor village Wiek on the Wittow Peninsula, with a modern marina, was for a long time Rügen's largest settlement. Before the hike, a short walk across the historic chalk bridge, protected as an industrial monument, is worthwhile. From there, you have a wonderful view over the harbor and lagoon towards the Bug, the westernmost tongue of land on Wittow. The 120 m long bridge, built in 1914, was originally intended for shipping chalk from nearby quarries, but due to World War I, it was never opened and has not been needed since. The circular route introduces you to one of the most beautiful island beaches. Along the way, several eateries invite you to stop by, including the Schifferkrug in Kuhle, perhaps the oldest tavern on Rügen – above the entrance of the thatched-roof house proudly displays the year 1455!
One of the most beautiful hiking tours in Dranske leads along the coast of Cape Arkona. This impressive steep cape offers spectacular views of the Baltic Sea and the lighthouse on the horizon. The route stretches for about 8 kilometres and takes you past historical sights such as the Slavic temple mountain Jaromarsburg and the fishing village of Vitt.
For nature lovers, a trip to Jasmund National Park, which is only a short drive from Dranske, is also worthwhile. One of the last remaining beech forests in Europe awaits you here, as well as the famous chalk cliffs with their imposing steep cliffs. There are several well-marked hiking trails through the park, including child-friendly routes.
The best seasons for hiking in Dranske are spring and autumn, when the weather is pleasantly mild and nature unfolds its full splendour. In spring, numerous wildflowers bloom along the paths, while in autumn colourful deciduous forests offer an enchanting sight.
If you want to hike with children, a visit to the Kliewe adventure farm in Dranske is recommended. Here, children can not only feed animals like goats and rabbits, but also romp around on a small adventure playground. The farm is located directly on the Bodden and thus offers the opportunity for a beautiful hike along the water.
All in all, Dranske is a true paradise for hikers. The varied landscape, the historical sights and the proximity to the Baltic Sea make this region an ideal destination for all nature and outdoor lovers. Whether you want to cover long distances or take a leisurely stroll - you are guaranteed to find the perfect hiking trail for you here.
