Wissower Klinken, Chalk rock formation in Sassnitz, Germany.
The white limestone cliffs of Wissower Klinken rise 11 meters above the Baltic Sea along the coastal path of Jasmund National Park.
In February 2005, approximately 50,000 cubic meters of chalk collapsed into the Baltic Sea, transforming the original two-pinnacle formation.
The name Wissower Klinken derives from Slavic 'klinŭ', meaning wedge or angle, reflecting the formation's original angular appearance.
Visitors reach the formation through a 2-kilometer hiking trail from Sassnitz's eastern edge, traversing the beech forests of Jasmund.
The site represents the third 3D model presented in the German Geological Society's Geotope³ Initiative, documenting its geological evolution.
