Königsstuhl National Park Centre

Königsstuhl National Park Centre is an information center in Sassnitz dedicated to the chalk cliffs and coastal landscape of Rugen. The building features aquariums, recreated ice age landscapes, and exhibitions about the local environment spread across multiple levels.

The center opened in 2004 on the site of a 19th-century hotel and was created through collaboration between regional organizations and international conservation partners. This change reflects how the location shifted from historic hospitality to environmental education.

The center reflects how people today learn to understand nature and what role the chalk cliffs hold in the region's identity. Visitors can observe how animals and plants live together in these special landscapes, showing how important this place is for teaching about the environment.

The center is accessible to visitors with mobility limitations and provides support such as sign language interpretation and audio guides. Plan to spend time exploring multiple exhibition areas that cover different aspects of coastal ecology.

The center operates a panoramic cinema where films about the region's nature and history are shown. There are also extensive outdoor exhibits that allow visitors to experience the surroundings in relation to what they have learned inside.
