Since February 2005, the Wissow Crags have been a lost sight of what they once were. Approximately 50,000 cubic meters of chalk tumbled from the cliff into the sea.

The Wissower Klinken are impressive chalk cliffs on the coast of Rügen, once among the island's most famous natural wonders. Unfortunately, they partially collapsed in 2005 due to a major erosion, but the area around Jasmund National Park still offers stunning views of the coast and the sea.

The Ernst Moritz Arndt Viewpoint is an impressive vantage point in Jasmund National Park on Rügen. From here, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the striking chalk cliffs and the Baltic Sea. The vantage point was named after the Rügen-born historian and writer Ernst Moritz Arndt.

There are three free options for parking your car and then starting your hike: The official car park is at Stadthof (east of the lake), or you can park in Parchtitz (approaching from the west), or in the large Familia car park and then cross the B96 (this is how you get to the lake from the south).
