Jasmund National Park is situated on Rügen Island in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, in northern Germany. Some sections of its ancient beech forest on the Stubnitz plateau, which is over 700 years old, are recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The park features stunning chalk cliffs that rise up to 117 meters. Hiking trails extend several kilometers along the rugged coastline, offering spectacular views of the striking white cliffs, verdant forests, and the deep blue sea. A new viewpoint, the Skywalk at the Königsstuhl visitor center, is dramatically perched above the shoreline. This landscape served as inspiration for artist Caspar David Friedrich, particularly for his famous painting, Chalk Cliffs on Rügen. His artwork captures icy scenes, ruins, and the Baltic Sea’s tumultuous storms, reflecting the bond between humanity and nature. In 2024, various celebrations will take place to commemorate the 250th anniversary of his birth.
