Chalk Quarries Above Sassnitz

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

Narrow path. Good footwear required. Do not do it when it is wet, the chalk is slippery. But the view ... a dream!

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.

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.

Sassnitz Pebble Beach

Highlight • Beach

On the riverside path you can marvel at the great chalk cliffs. However, caution is advised in storms or bad weather, as the rocks of the steep coast can break off. So always pay attention to any warning signs.

Fishing Boats and Smokehouse 'Heimat' at Sassnitz Harbor

You can eat well and inexpensively at one of the smokers on the east pier of the harbor. The selection of smoked fish is great!

Sassnitz Fisheries and Harbour Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

The Sassnitz city harbor was formerly used as a fishing port and as a ferry port.
Today the harbor is predominantly fishing and tourism harbor, here is also a fishery and harbor museum with the museum cutter "Havel".
From the harbor you can also book tours with various excursion boats.
Various pubs and restaurants invite you to linger and enjoy.

The really best thing about the harbor is, you can buy fresh fish here.
The fish sandwiches are delicious, but watch out while enjoying! The gulls taste the fishbreads just as well!
In addition, the city harbor with the Ostmole, which towers to the lighthouse about 1400 meters into the Baltic Sea, has the longest outer mole in Europe.
