Granitz

The Granitz is a wooded ridge in the southeast of Germany's largest island, Rügen, between the Baltic Sea resorts of Binz and Sellin.

On the highest point, the Tempelberg (107 m above sea level (NN)), Prince Wilhelm Malte I of Putbus had the Granitz hunting lodge constructed in the 19th century.

Other landmarks include Granitz House, the grave site of Finnish warriors and the Cross Oak (Kreuzeiche).

In 1888, the Waldhalle, a tourist restaurant, was built on the hill of Falkenberg on the clifftop path from Binz to Sellin near the coast.

Only a few remains of foundations on the cliff face of the Baltic Sea coast recall the existence of the building.
