Naturerbe Zentrum Rügen / Baumwipfelpfad

The most beautiful sunrises are experienced by those who rise early and head to the Naturerbe Zentrum Rügen. The Baumwipfelpfad offers a wonderful walking experience through unspoiled nature. During the summer months in particular, early morning guided walks are organized for visitors who want to watch the sun rise over this stunning natural landscape. Tourists from across Europe travel to Rügen specifically to enjoy these exceptional walks, as the surroundings of the Naturerbe Zentrum are perfectly suited for it. Here, you truly experience nature up close.

Guided walks

You can explore the Baumwipfelpfad independently, but guided walks are also available. These lead through flint stone fields or through the magnificent forests of the area. Nowhere else can you get this close to nature. The local flora and fauna are simply spectacular, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts as well. Along the trail, you will also find an observation tower built around a tree. On a clear day, the elevated viewpoint offers views stretching for kilometres, providing the perfect opportunity for stunning landscape photography. After your walk, you can visit the permanent exhibition as well as the rotating temporary exhibitions housed in the centre.
