Königsstuhl
The 118-meter chalk cliff is Rügen's most famous landmark. A circular elevated walkway opened in 2023 offers sweeping views over the white cliffs and the blue sea.
Königsstuhl is the highest point of the Jasmund chalk coast. The cliff top is managed by the national park center, and admission costs about €12–13, including the exhibition and the circular Skywalk. The exhibition explains how chalk formed and the beech forest ecosystem. From the walkway you can see the striking contrast between the white cliffs and the sea. The free Victoria viewpoint nearby is also worth a visit.
Getting there: take a bus from Sassnitz, or transfer to a shuttle bus at the Hagen parking lot. Do not approach the foot of the cliff, as it is off-limits.
