Chalk Cliffs of Jasmund National Park

The famous chalk cliffs on Rügen stretch over a length of 15 kilometers
on the Jasmund peninsula - from Sassnitz to the municipality of Glowe.
The sight alone is magnificent, after all, you don't get to see such impressive white rocks,
which rise 120 meters up, every day. But the history of their formation is also a source of amazement and admiration: the rocks were composed more than 50 million years ago from calcareous, fossil-like remains of various small animals that were deposited in the sea and solidified into rock over time.
Together with sand, clay and other rock, the chalk cliffs we know today were formed.urlaubsguru.de/deutschlandliebe/kreidefelsen-auf-ruegen

A beautiful place to relax and unwind under the chalk cliffs on the Baltic Sea shore.

White natural monument
North of Sassnitz, roughly from the Gakow shore, one of Germany's most beautiful hiking trails begins along the Baltic Sea. The approximately 11-kilometer-long high-shore trail leads
via the Königsstuhl National Park Center to Lohme and just before Glowe. This stretch of coast is characterized by the picturesque, bizarre cliffs with
the striking, white, shining chalk cliffs.This path takes you to striking points such as the well-known Wissower Klinken,
the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Sicht at Tipper Ort, or the Victoriasicht and of course the Königsstuhl as the most famous chalk cliff formation in the Stubbenkammer in the
Jasmund National Park.The two main pinnacles of the Wissower Klinken collapsed into the sea in February 2005 and no longer appear in their original tectonic formation. In this context, it is also a myth that the famous painting by Caspar David Friedrich “Chalk Cliffs on Rügen” depicts the Wissower Klinken, which did not even exist at the time the painting was created. In addition to walking on the hiking trail from Sassnitz to Lohme, you can also reach the Königsstuhl by bus from Sassnitz. A boat trip to the Stubbenkammer is also very attractive, where you can see the chalk cliffs in all their beauty from the sea side. sassnitz.m-vp.de/kreidefelsen-der-stubbenkammer-zwischen-lohme-und-sassnitz
