View of the Chalk Cliffs Near Sassnitz

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the trail of the pirate Störtebeker

The Piratenschlucht Sassnitz is said to be the place where the notorious buccaneer Klaus Störtebeker sought refuge and buried his treasures in the 14th century. In the old cliff there is a staircase that connects the Hochuferweg with the beach.

One of the most beautiful hikes in Germany is the path along the chalk coast in the Jasmund National Park.

If the weather conditions allow it, i.e. no extreme waves and not after rainy days or when the snow has melted, we can also walk along the path directly below the water. Here we have wonderful views of the imposing chalk cliffs and time and again we encounter natural works of art in the form of stone landscapes and old, fallen trees or washed-up remains of wood.

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.
