Who does not know the painting „Chalk Cliffs on Rügen“ by Caspar David Friedrich. The great Greifswalder established the romantic fascination for the white natural monuments in the northeast of the island. The Königsstuhl, this 119 meter high majestic landmark of the island of Rügen, is just under 4 kilometers from Lohme.
Experienced hikers can manage this route in 45 minutes, but who wants to rush? The views of the turquoise-green sea are far too beautiful for that. Nevertheless, be careful! No matter how tempting it is to look down: stay on the paths and don’t step on the unsecured steep bank! Even hiking on the stone beach, where the flints lie, is never entirely without danger.
Another tip: Europe’s only chalk museum in nearby Gummanz shows very clearly what great economic importance the mining of the „white gold“ had on Jasmund until a few decades ago.
