May 24, 2023,Sassnitz-entlang der Kreidefelsen

From the Sassnitz beach promenade, where there is simply no parking space for bicycles, walk along the coast below the chalk cliffs and back one floor up on the Höhenweg.
At the end of the beach promenade, keep right along the shore.
The path along the chalk cliffs consists almost entirely of loose pebbles and boulders. From time to time …

October 18, 2023,Rügen: Wanderung an der Kreideküste

Hiking on the chalk coast on Germany's largest island, Rügen, is one of the absolute highlights. For me personally, it remains the most beautiful place on the island and one of the most beautiful places in Germany.
The starting point is the entrance to the national park in Sassnitz. There are many different variants of the tour. The prerequisites are …

Beautiful hike along the steep coast of Sassnitz in the direction of the Königsstuhl. The time is wrong because we strolled along the coast for about 4 hours (view of the ground... 😀). For the way back on the high bank path through the beech forest we needed about 1 hour.

My first beach trip on the island of Rügen. First, I walked with my two-legged companions from the national park car park through the beech forest to the cliff coast. At the end of March, a very quiet hike. Along the path, there are many viewpoints from which you can enjoy a wonderful view down to the beach. The way …

December 12, 2022,🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️An den Kreidekliffs - unten hin, oben zurück.

In the summer, Rügen is old hat for us, but in the cold and snow it was a whole new bobble hat.

Dramatic paintings in the sky, icy wind and crunching snow conveyed a much wilder experience of the hike on the narrow strip between the surf and the chalk wall from Sassnitz to the fallen Wissower Klinken.
