Kapp Weissenfels is a headland on Svenskøya in Kong Karls Land, Svalbard. It is the most eastern point of Svenskøya, and the headland has a length of about 1.2 kilometers. The headland is named after the German city of Weißenfels.[1] The outer point is about 25 meters high, and serves as a breeding place for guillemot, kittiwakes and ptarmigan. Nearby are sand beaches with undulating sand dunes.[2]
