Jasmund National Park
The
Jasmund National Park is a nature reserve in the northeast of
Rügen island in
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania,
Germany. It is famous for the largest chalk cliffs of Germany, the so called
Königsstuhl (literally "king's chair"). These cliffs are up to 161 m high above the
Baltic Sea. The forests behind the cliffs are also part of the national park.
Consisting of only 30 km², this is the smallest national park of Germany. The park was founded in 1990 by the last government of the GDR prior to the German reunification.
