Many artists, including painters, poets and musicians, are inspired by it when they go there. It offers an impressive show, especially since the Baltic Sea in the background seems to bring a plus. In addition, at the top of the cliff, there is the Königsstuhl National Park Centre, which is mainly equipped with an exhibition, a multi-vision cinema, and an observation platform for those who want to walk just above the cliff and admire the surrounding landscape even better.
The other must-see attraction of Jasmund National Park is the Victoria viewpoint. This chalk cliff was named after Crown Princess Victoria when King William I visited it in 1865. Here again, a platform allows tourists to marvel at the breathtaking panorama. In addition, it is good to note that the platform was constructed to honor the royal duo.
In Jasmund National Park, a stop at Lake Hertha is highly recommended. It is particularly well-known because it has existed for centuries. He is even at the origin of a legend from northern Germany. The story goes that anyone who was not consecrated and saw the goddess Hertha far from her baths in the lake was destined to die. Those who believe in it go for the different stories of strange events around this area. But many people go there to appreciate this beautiful and pleasant place, allowing them to take a short break during a hike in the park.
There are some interesting hiking trails in Jasmund National Park. They are also relatively suitable for almost all levels. Many of them are meant to reach Köningsstuhl, immerse oneself in the beech forests, and admire the views of the sea and the iconic chalk cliffs. The most connoisseurs of hiking will be delighted to opt for those trails that last several days. ◄
