Hike · 8 km · 3 h · Free · The high path through Jasmund's beech forest, along the edge of the chalk cliffs, from Sassnitz harbour to the Königsstuhl

What it is
The best way to reach the Königsstuhl is on foot along the high path that leaves Sassnitz and follows the cliff edge through the national park's beech forest, with viewpoints over the chalk and the sea. It is about 8 km to the national park centre.
How it works
Arrive by train at Sassnitz, cross the town heading north and follow the national park signs. Allow about three hours at an easy pace. To return, bus 23 runs down from the Königsstuhl to Sassnitz station. Wear hiking footwear: there are roots, mud and steps. Do not go near the edge: the cliff crumbles.
