Kite Flying in Autumn

In addition, there will be music, children's entertainment, and gastronomic offerings with hearty and sweet delicacies. The festival is family-friendly and brings people from the region together for a cheerful autumn event.

Samtens in the Mild West

Samtens is located in the Vorpommern-Rügen district in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and is the administrative seat of the Amt West-Rügen. The west of the island of Rügen is a rural, vast landscape – ideal for a kite festival, as open spaces and the constant Baltic Sea wind provide good conditions.

Recurring Autumn Event

The kite festival is a recurring autumn event in the West-Rügen region. It is part of the municipality's event calendar and offers an opportunity to celebrate the autumn season on the island with a convivial open-air festival – a programme item for families, locals, and guests alike.
