The Wissower Klinken are impressive chalk cliffs on the coast of Rügen, once among the island's most famous natural wonders. Unfortunately, they partially collapsed in 2005 due to a major erosion, but the area around Jasmund National Park still offers stunning views of the coast and the sea.

The detour is truly worth it. It's the most amazing place on the island to experience the chalk cliffs. They are truly high and impressive at this point, and the path along the beach truly teaches you to be in awe of nature.

It must be said that rock slides have occurred here several times, and there's always a certain danger. And there's no warning, but rather, they happen very suddenly.

The likelihood is higher during wet periods, as the rocks are saturated and heavier. I found it impressive and can recommend it to everyone.

It is beautiful to walk up through the beech forest and back on the coast. For example, from Sassnitz to the Kieler shore. This path also leads past the Wissower latches. In this video here I show some impressions and tell you more about it:
