Chalk cliffs in Jasmund National Park - they are famous landmarks and belong to the most popular tourist attractions of the Rugen Island in Northern Germany.

Since 1990 that wild fascinating coast on the Baltic Sea with rugged white chalk cliffs (up to 161m high) and undisturbed beech woods on top has been protected in Jasmund National Park. Already the Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich was attracted by the best known cliffs, the Wissower Klinken which offer together with the Königsstuhl (King’s seat) an imposing view.

Hiking, cruising, horse riding and cycling are much loved options to explore the almost pristine nature of the Jasmund National Park, a picturesque place perfect for relaxing vacation everybody should have seen.
