Germany Old Level Tower Ruins, Kap Arkona

Photography Tips
Take care of your Equipment! Sand in the Tripod, Water on the Camera. With the right weather at this place, anything can happen. Maybe bring rubber boots. The steep dunes are very unstable. Be careful when walking to the spot. Normally the yellow dunes make a great contrast to the blue of the sea. But if you can, come here in winter, when the snow covers the dunes, making the scene almost surreal.
Travel Information
Limited parking is provided at the lighthouse of Cap Arkona. From there follow the path to the beach and turn right. After a few minutes, you will reach the ruins.
