Breathtaking views over the sea and rocks

The first rays of sunlight gently caressing the massive chalk cliffs are a sight you won't soon forget. The vibrant colors, enhanced by the contrast between the calm blue of the sea and the white of the cliffs, make time stand still and invite you to pause. At the foot of the cliffs lies an idyllic natural beach, perfect for a stroll and offering magnificent views of the majestic cliffs. But as tempting as the proximity to the edge may be, caution is advised. Nature has created overhangs here in places that are fascinating, but also have their pitfalls. The Wissower Ufer captivates numerous visitors, especially on weekends when tourists from near and far want to experience this breathtaking place. Yet despite the hustle and bustle, it is always possible to find a moment of peace and fully enjoy the beauty of nature. For those who want to escape the crowds and experience the Wissower Ufer in all its glory, a visit in the early morning hours is recommended. As the day awakens and the sun bathes the rocks in a golden light, this place shows off its best side.

This lake is almost circular in shape and is 170 meters long and 140 meters wide, with its deepest point measuring an impressive 11 meters. Surrounded by dense forest, Lake Hertha reflects the bright foliage and shines in the most magnificent colors, especially in the golden autumn. The route there takes hikers directly from the visitor car park in Hagen or from the Königsstuhl National Park Center through the impressive forest of the national park. Here, in the northeast of Rügen, you not only encounter the natural beauty of the island, but also immerse yourself in its fascinating history. On the north-eastern shore of the lake stands Herthaburg, a mighty rampart that witnessed Slavic settlement between the 8th and 12th centuries. When you step onto the small wooden pier, you will be treated to a picturesque view of the still waters of the lake. It is a place of peace, perfect for all hikers – young and old. But be warned, bicycles, even if pushed, are not allowed here. This place belongs to pedestrians to enjoy the atmosphere undisturbed.

In the heart of the island of Rügen, in the northeastern tip, lies a paradise for nature lovers: the Jasmund National Park. Nestled in the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Ancient Beech Forests of Germany”, this park – Germany’s smallest national park – contains an impressive diversity that will amaze every hiker. The Stubnitz, a ridge north of the charming port town of Sassnitz, is covered by dense, original beech forest. A green roof that stands in vivid contrast to the brilliant white chalk cliff coast. Particularly striking: the Stubenkammer, a true masterpiece of nature. The path leads along the chalk coast, past moors, dry grasslands and the former Quoltitz chalk quarries. A scenery that enchants with its colors and shapes. The Piekberg, at 161 meters Rügen's highest elevation, offers an impressive overview of this unique terrain. And there it is: the 60 meter high chalk cliff that juts boldly out of the sea. The Ernst-Moritz-Arndt View, a monument of nature, in honor of Rügen's famous son. Hikers can reach this spectacular viewpoint via the Hochuferweg, which connects Sassnitz with the Königsstuhl. And we continue on, past the remains of the Wissow clinics, witnesses of times past. Plan more time than expected. Because this place tempts you to pause, marvel and enjoy the silence. And anyone hiking with children will certainly take a break here and there - be it to collect stones or to admire the view. With every step you take, a new view of the coast opens up. The alternation of ups and downs is almost reminiscent of mountain feelings. And the park is an experience even in fog or cloudy weather. The chalk cliffs in the haze give the landscape an almost mystical grace. For anyone who wants to experience the real character of the chalk cliffs, we recommend using the descents along the high bank path. Viewed from below, the rocks show a completely different face.

A very special forest right on the Baltic Sea coast.
