Jasmund National Park, National park and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Rügen, Germany.

The park contains white chalk cliffs rising 118 meters above the Baltic Sea, surrounded by ancient beech forests on the Stubnitz plateau.

The last government of East Germany established the national park in September 1990, making it the smallest protected natural area in Germany.

The chalk cliffs of Königsstuhl influenced German romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich, who created several paintings of the landscape in the 19th century.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails connecting to viewpoints, including the newly constructed suspended skywalk above Königsstuhl cliff opened in 2023.

The park houses over 1,000 species of insects and multiple protected orchid varieties, while white-tailed eagles patrol the skies above the cliffs.
