Vitt

The fishing village of Vitt lies on the German Baltic Sea island of Rügen, more precisely on the Wittow peninsula near Cape Arkona.

Because of its location in a coastal gully on the cliffed coast, called Liete, Vitt is not visible from afar.

According to the reports of Danish historian, Saxo Grammaticus, the village was probably already in existence by the 10th century as a fishing and trading port belonging to the Slavic Jaromarsburg on Cape Arkona.

[2] It was first mentioned in the records on 25 May 1290, when the Rügen prince, Witzlaw II, granted the place the right and freedom to fish.

In the small harbour, trips in fishing boats around Cape Arkona may be booked.
