The Jasmund National Park is home to the magnificent chalk coast of the island of Rügen and the Jasmund peninsula with its hilly plateau. Beech forests, chalk cliffs and the sea form fascinating scenery, which cast its spell over the artists of the Romantic period and even today has lost nothing of its stunning attraction. Within the 3,102-hectare protected area, the largest contiguous beech forest on the Baltic coast covers 2,100 hectares of land.As a UNESCO World Heritage Area "Ancient Beech Forests of Germany", a representative section of landscape, partially unaffected by humans, in the east of the Jasmund National Park was identified, which extends from the drift line of the Baltic, up the steep coast to the plateau. The size of the area is 493 hectares.

Well, if you like the chalk cliffs or not, everybody has to decide for himself. They are characteristic for Rügen, so take a look at them. There are different places where you can especially look at this natural spectacle. Of course the Victoria observation deck is a nice point (maybe the most beautiful one)? But along the Hochuferweg there are so many beautiful perspectives that you should not miss. If you go there by car, it's your own fault (parking, fees, still walking). You can not get lost... and public transportation goes there as well. We saved the entrance fee, because we were not interested in the Documentation Center, only movement in the open air, view, once from Sassnitz, once from Lomme. Important: Near Königsstuhl it will be full, just as near Sassnitz. In between there is a lot of peace and quiet. Recommended if you are good on foot, to walk back down to the sea (to Sassnitz). Here the rocky outcrops become really dramatic.

The alaris Butterfly Park in Sassnitz is a part of the tropical rainforest. Hundreds of free-flying exotic butterflies lurk beneath the glass roof amidst lush tropical plants. From the small, lively only 3 cm large glass wing called Greta oto on the bright blue glittering sky butterflies from Peru to 32 cm immobile Atlas Silkworm (his caterpillars produce the atlas) are about the season (6 April to November 1) to observe about 140 different species from four continents. At the same time about 300 butterflies from 25 species fly. The lifespan of tropical moths is quite short. Every day about 30 - 40 new ones hatch, with some luck you can watch them hatch. Every month in the season offers a different picture.
