Welcome to Germany's smallest national park! A fascinating landscape awaits you on 3,070 hectares, with expansive beech forests, idyllic moors, bubbling springs, and, of course, the famous white chalk cliffs.

Here you can hike along shady forest trails, enjoy breathtaking views from the cliffs, and experience the special atmosphere of this unique natural setting.

Germany's smallest national park

– Size: 3,070 hectares / 20% water surface

– 493 hectares of beech forests (UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011)

– Pieckberg mountain, 161 meters high (⛰)

– The chalk is 70 million years old

– Jasmund Nature Reserve (by police decree in 1929)

– Established as a national park in 1990 (National Park Program of the GDR)

The largest beech forests on the Baltic coast extend across hills and stream valleys, enclosing sparse moors and springs. On the famous white chalk coast, shady green forests meet the blue sea. UNESCO has declared the ancient beech forests at the heart of the national park a World Heritage Site.

Fact Sheet:

Jasmund National Park is located in the northeast of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, on the island of Rügen. The protected area is located in the east of the peninsula of the same name, between Sassnitz in the south and Lohme in the north. The national park encompasses the Stubnitz ridge, which rises up to 161 m above the sea and is predominantly made of chalk and covered in forests, the steep banks, and a 500 m wide stretch of the Baltic Sea directly in front of the beach. Particularly distinctive for this national park and unique in Germany are the high chalk cliffs, which rise up to 118 m at the Königsstuhl. The national park covers an area of 3,070 hectares, of which approximately 20% is water.

A hike through the beech forest is a must. Beautiful in every season. Sturdy shoes are recommended.
