Loop
The Hochuferwanderweg cannot be missed when visiting Rügen. Again and again there are wonderful views of the coast. After a detour to the Black Lake, it goes on and a little further into the beech forest and to the beautiful Granitz hunting lodge, from whose observation tower you can see the whole island on a clear day.
