Chalk Cliffs of Jasmund National Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

The chalk coast stretches from the outskirts of Wedding in Sassnitz to Lohme. The highlight shown here is just behind the entrance to the national park and gives you a first view of the chalk coast: the Gakower Ufer and the Wissower Ufer. Not far from here, at the Piratenschlucht, you can take a staircase to the Hochuferweg. If you want to continue walking down the coast, you should note that the next ascent is only possible at the Kieler Bach.
Along the chalk coast you can often find fossils such as sea urchins, thunderstones, petrified corals and mussels. However, extreme caution is advised, particularly in winter or during storms and heavy rain.

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

Wissower Klinken Chalk Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.

Chalk Cliffs of Jasmund National Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

The famous chalk cliffs on Rügen stretch for 15 kilometers
on the Jasmund peninsula – from Sassnitz to the village of Glowe.

The sight alone is magnificent; after all, you don't see such imposing white cliffs,
rising 120 meters high, every day. But their origin is equally astonishing: the cliffs were formed 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 rocks, this is how the chalk cliffs we know today were formed.
